 Dz13 also inhibits the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, interferon gamma and IL-6.Dz13 has been used with carriers such as cationic polymers for improved cellular delivery and efficacy.Dz13 in such polymers inhibits tumor cell proliferation and migration by suppressing levels of c-Jun and MMPs, reduces H1N1 and H7N2 viral replication and increases survival of mice infected with influenza A and suppresses c-Jun and solid tumor growth in biomimetic nanoballs.
