JJP-12
JJP-12 is a water-soluble small molecule which produced from microorganism, and more specifically by a subisolate of the slime mold Lysobacter antibioticus.
JJP-12 demonstrates a strong anti-arthritic activity vs. type II
collagen-induced arthritis in mice comparable to Enbrel (Entracept), an established therapeutic compound. JJP-12 and Enbrel, however, have different mechanisms of action: Enbrel, inhibits the migration of the disease to uninvolved paws where inhibition (rather than reversal) occurred over time, while JJP-12 reduces the global arthritis score in all affected paws making it highly relevant for the treatment of established rheumatoid diseases.

Micro CT and Bone Density Evaluation
Regions of marked bone erosions are clearly visible in the image from the control group
(6A), while animals treated with JJP-12 (6B) showed only minor erosive changes. There was
considerable preservation of structure and bone mineral density in mice treated with JJP-12, which is not shown in mice treated with Enbrel (6C).
