I found an obscure drug (suplatast tosilate) used to lower Th2 cytokines. Would like some other eyes on this to see if it would be a candidate to test. The cytokines it inhibts are: IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, CCL17, IL-12p70, IL-12p40, IL-13.

This is the montoya cytokine chart:

I am not sure about your list of cytokines, as it includes IL-12, IL-2 and IFN-γ which are actually Th1 cytokines.


If suplatast tosilate can increase the Th1 response by means of reducing the Th2 response, it might have some antiviral effects in ME/CFS. But I could not find anything that indicated suplatast tosilate can increase Th1. Th1 and Th2 are to some degree mutually inhibiting, so when one is high, it reduces the other. Thus in principle reducing Th2 might increase Th1.
