Mechanisms of TQ-6, a Novel Ruthenium-Derivative Compound, against Lipopolysaccharide-Induced In Vitro Macrophage Activation and Liver Injury in Experimental Mice: The Crucial Role of p38 MAPK and NF-κB Signaling

Several studies have reported that metal complexes exhibit anti-inflammatory activities; however, the molecular mechanism is not well understood. In this study, we used a potent ruthenium (II)-derived compound, [Ru(η6-cymene)2-(1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-quinoline Cl]BF4 (TQ-6), to investigate...
