Background:

INO5042 is an anti-inflammatory agent.

When INO5042 is added to endothelial cells, a shift of velocities is observed towards fast speeds (from 3-5 to 7-11 microm/sec). The same results is significantly found when neutrophils, alone or along with endothelium, has been submitted to INO5042, the number of stickers and rollers being reduced as well[1].
