Abstract
Background: Inflammation is the response to the reaction of any type of bodily injury by elevating cellular metabolism and releasing soluble mediators. It is also a contributing factor of pain. Predimenol, which has previously been known as DLBS1442, is a bioactive extract from Phaleria macrocarpa (Scheff.) Boerl (Thymelaceae). It can be an alternative treatment for pain relief, especially for long-term use.
Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activities of predimenol through the evaluation of several parameters involved in the inflammatory pathway.
Methods: Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and nuclear factor B (NF-B) were observed after 24 h exposure of predimenol (0-180 µg/mL) to lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 cell. The inflammatory markers were measured using nitric oxide (NO) assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for COX-2 inhibitor assay. The gene expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-6 were quantified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Western blotting was applied to detect phosphorylated IB kinase (IKK) protein to confirm the activation of NF-κB.
Results: Our study showed a similar mechanism with most non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Predimenol consistently downregulated the expression of iNOS and inhibited COX-2 activity. Moreover, predimenol significantly inhibited the LPS-induced production of NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-6. Down-regulation of these markers was suggested due to the reduction of NF-κB transcription level and activation by predimenol.
Conclusion: Predimenol exhibits anti-inflammatory activities through NF-kB inactivation-mediated COX-2 suppression, which may suggest that predimenol is a potential analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
