Objective To review the anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties of drotrecogin alfa
(activated)(recombinant human activated protein C), emphasizing its modulatory effects on
endothelial nuclear factor-κB. We propose a broad anti-inflammatory effect of drotrecogin
alfa (activated), acting on both endothelium and monocytes.
