celastrol | celastrol, a quinine methide triterpene derived from a plant extract used in herbal medicine, inhibits lethal toxin-induced death of RAW264.7 murine macrophages. Celastrol does not prevent cleavage of mitogen activated protein kinase kinase 1. Celastrol confers almost complete protection when it is added up to 1.5 h after intoxication, indicating that it can rescue cells in the late stages of intoxication. Celastrol inhibits the proteasome-dependent degradation of proteins in RAW264.7 cells. Celastrol blocks stimulation of IL-18 processing, indicating that celastrol acts upstream of inflammasome activation | Bacillus anthracis |
