Nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB) plays a wide variety of pathophysiological roles and modulation of its pathway can be a good novel drug target. Here, we found that our recently synthesized NF‐κB inhibitor attenuated an ovalbumin‐specific delayed‐type hypersensitivity response in vivo and suppressed production of IL‐12 by dendritic cells and T H 1 cytokines by T cells in vitro. These findings suggest that the activation of NF‐κB mounts T H 1 type immune responses, and that this new NF‐κB inhibitor has a therapeutic potential in this context.
