A marine fungus-derived sesquiterpenoid, Cpd-8, inhibits TNF receptor superfamily-induced cell death, both in vitro and in vivo. This study not only provides a useful research tool to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of TNF-induced cell death but also identifies a promising lead compound for future drug development.
