Small molecule agonists and antagonists of NR2F6 activity
The present technology is directed to modulators of nuclear receptor activity, specifically to the modulation of NR2F6 activity and NR2F6 utilizing compounds, and the immune modulation and modulation of cancer stem cell activity through administration of compounds described herein.
1. A method of increasing nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 6 (NR2F6) activity of a cell, comprising contacting a cell with an agonist of NR2F6 activity in an amount effective to increase NR2F6 activity in the cell, wherein the NR2F6 agonist is a compound, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, having a structure selected from the group consisting of:
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cell is an immune cell.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the cell is a peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC).
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the immune cell shows inhibition of cytokine release after the increasing of NR2F6 activity in the immune cell.
