Abstract

Mono- and dihydroxylated metabolites of thalidomide were efficiently prepared and characterized, and their inhibitory activity on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α production in the human monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 was evaluated. 5,N-Dihydroxythalidomide was a much more potent TNF-α production inhibitor than thalidomide.
