Researchers from Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation Detail Research in Coronavirus (Expression of Toll-like Receptor Genes and Antiviral Cytokines in Macrophage-like Cells in Response to Indole-3-carboxylic Acid Derivative).

Researchers from the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation have conducted a study on the expression of Toll-like receptor genes and antiviral cytokines in response to an indole-3-carboxylic acid derivative. The research aims to explore the potential of this compound as an immunomodulatory drug with antiviral and interferon-inducing activity. The study found that the compound stimulated the expression of toll-like receptor genes, interferons, and immunoregulatory cytokines in a macrophage-like cell model, indicating its potential as an activator of innate immunity genes.
