Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is a central cytokine in inflammatory reactions, and biologics that neutralize TNF are among the most successful drugs for the treatment of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune pathologies.

Hence, inhibitors of cell death are being considered as a new therapy for TNF-dependent inflammatory diseases.
