Molecular Pharmacology (USA) Limited (OTCBB: MLPH) announced today that independent, replicated and multi-centered in-vitro studies had shown that the company's anti-cytokine drug, MPL-104, potently inhibits the secretion of TNF-alpha in inflammatory conditions. The secretion of the cytokine TNF-alpha underlies a range of debilitating inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, and ankylosing spondylitis, and is considered to be the main factor in driving inflammation.
