The compound 3-O-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) is the most effective boswellic acid and mostly responsible for B. serrata's anti-inflammatory properties. Here, we reexamined the anti-inflammatory potential of a product selectively enriched with 30% AKBA (BE-30, also known as 5-Loxin®) and evaluated its underlying possible molecular mechanism of action. BE-30 was 42.96% more effective than regular Boswellia extract (BE-3) in inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase activity. In lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced THP-1 human monocytes, BE-30 showed a strong anti-TNFαactivity (half maximal inhibitory concentration 4.61 ± 0.87 µg/mL), which provides 71.14% (P < 0.001) better efficacy than BE-3. Our investigations suggest that BE-30 inhibits the LPS-induced activation of serine/threonine kinases of mitogen-activated protein kinase family, which are the key players responsible for a variety of cellular responses, including inflammation. Additionally, we also show that BE-30 blocks the LPS-induced NFκB activation by inhibiting IκBα phosphorylation and p65 translocation to the nuclear compartment of THP-1 monocytes. Collectively, these findings provide molecular basis for the anti-inflammatory properties of BE-30. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS \u0000 \u0000This article describes the underlying molecular mechanisms for the anti-inflammatory activities of an enriched formulation containing up to 30% 3-O-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA), the active principle that is mainly responsible for Boswellia serrata's anti-inflammatory properties. This AKBA-enriched formulation (BE-30), known as 5-Loxin, is commercially available in the United States and is being used as a key ingredient of several formulations for improvement of joint health. This work explains anti-TNFα properties of BE-30 in a cellular inflammation model in vitro and its inhibitory action on MAPK pathways in inflammation and, in addition, its anti-NFκB activities. The findings will provide a further comprehensive mechanism of anti-inflammatory action of 5-Loxin at the cellular and molecular level.","PeriodicalId":15881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Lipids","volume":"16 1","pages":"325-344"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/J.1745-4522.2009.01150.X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63565859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wistar rats were assigned into three groups and received diets containing 8% soybean oil (SOY), 4% soybean oil + 4% fish oil (SOY-FISH) and 8% fish oil (FISH) for 21 days. Linoleic, oleic and α-linolenic acids in SOY diets were substituted by myristic, palmitic, palmitoleic, eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids in SOY-FISH and FISH diets reducing the n-6/n-3 ratio and increasing the peroxidability index (PI). Increased dietary EPA and DHA were observed in SOY-FISH and FISH plasma at the expense of linoleic and arachidonic acid levels. Saturated fatty acids, which were significantly different between the three diets (P < 0.01), were found at the same concentration in the plasma (P = 0.23).

The original and interesterified blends were examined for triacylglycerol composition, melting point, solid fat content (SFC) and consistency. Interesterification caused considerable rearrangement of triacylglycerol species, reduction of trisaturated triacylglycerol content and increase in disaturated-monounsaturated and monosaturated-diunsaturated triacylglycerols in all blends, resulting in lowering of respective melting points. The interesterified blends showed reduced SFC at all temperatures and more linear melting profiles if compared with the original blends.

Addition of HOSo did not significantly alter cooling profiles of EVOo except for onset temperature of crystallization, which was significantly shifted toward lower temperature at 40% of adulterant addition. At the same percentage of adulteration, the heating profile of EVOo was significantly changed as the major endotherm broadened and the minor event became smaller and less evident. Cooling thermograms of pure oils and their admixtures were deconvoluted into three constituent exothermic peaks in an attempt to detect addition of HOSo at levels lower than 40%. Thermal properties of the two lower-temperature exotherms (area percentage, offset temperature and range of transition) were significantly changed at</i>≥<i>20% of HOSo substitution, suggesting that DSC can be employed to detect this oil as an EVOo adulterant.</i></p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Adulteration of extra-virgin olive oil (EVOo) with cheaper oils from other vegetable sources or seeds, as well as with lower quality olive oils, is a serious concern for oil suppliers and consumers and requires the use of new analytical techniques for their detection. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) exhibits some advantages over the classical analytical methods as it does not require sample preparation and use of solvents, thus resulting in a reduced environmental impact. Results suggested that its application to the detection of EVOo adulteration with high oleic sunflower oil, a vegetable oil largely employed for this type of fraud, is promising with the support of the deconvolution analysis of cooling thermograms.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Lipids","volume":"16 2","pages":"227-244"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1745-4522.2009.01143.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63565148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
