Abstract

In the present study the significant role of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl structure in the anti-inflammatory activity of the natural humulane sesquiterpenoids zerumbone and zerumbone 2,3-epoxide was evidenced from a comparative study of the ability of zerumbone and zerumbone 2,3-epoxide to inhibit NF-κB activation and NO production in LPS (lipopolysaccharide)- stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. The IC50 of these compounds were 1.97 μM ± 0.18 and 30.11 μM ± 4.10 in the NF-κB activation assay and 3.58 μM ± 0.46 and 34.7 μM ± 3.72 in the nitric oxide production assay, respectively.
Keywords: Zerumbone; Zerumbone-2,3-epoxide; NF-κB; NO production Zerumbone; Zerumbone-2,3-epoxide; NF-κB; NO production
