VGX-1027 displays immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities by inhibiting toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. In diabetic mice, VGX-1027 decreases synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines and improves glomerulosclerosis. In other animal models, this compound inhibits antigen presentation, preventing the development of systemic lupus erythmatosus (SLE), increases survival rates and improving overall pathology.
