Lignans from Saururus chinensis exhibit anti-inflammatory activity by influencing the Nrf2/HO-1 activation pathway

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As part of our ongoing program to develop anti-inflammatory agents, an extract derived from Saururus chinensis collected in Korea was found to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW264.7 cells. Bioassay-guided fractionation led to the isolation two new (1 and 2) and six known dineolignans (3–8). To the best of our knowledge, manassatin B1 (3) was isolated from S. chinensis for the first time. All structures were elucidated using extensive spectroscopic analysis. Of these compounds, 2 and 8 inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of NO and showed IC50 values of 5.80 and 1.52 µM, respectively. LPS-induced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was also significantly suppressed by the administration of 2 and 8. In addition, these lignans induced the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in a concentration-dependent manner. Nuclear translocation of nuclear-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a key regulator of HO-1 protein expression, was also induced in RAW264.7 cells treated with 2 and 8. These findings suggested that these lignans exerted anti-inflammatory effects in RAW264.7 cells through modulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and that they were potential HO-1 inducers for preventing or treating inflammation.
