  Objective: This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of methanol extract and fractions of bacteria associated with sponge (Haliclona amboinensis) and to evaluate their effect in reducing NO production and inhibiting cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), cyclooxgenase-2 (COX-2) and secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) activity.Methods: All bacterial isolates were cultured and supernatants were collected for the extraction of secondary metabolites using diaion HP-20 to obtain methanol extracts. Evaluation of cytotoxicity property was carried out on macrophage cell lines (RAW264.7) by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol- 2-yl) 2,5-diphenyl tetrazoliumbromide assay. Anti-inflammatory screening was done by inducible nitric oxide assay on RAW264.7 cell lines with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Dianion HP-20 was used to remove salt content. A selected methanol extract was subjected to further fractionations by C-18 reverse phase and their anti-inflammatory potential was evaluated by COX-1 and COX-2, and sPLA2 enzymatic assay.Results: Seven methanol extracts showed no cytotoxic property against RAW 264.7 cell line (inhibitory concentration 50% > 30 μg/ml) and selected for anti-inflammatory screening assay. Result showed methanol extract HM 1.2 reduced NO production >80% and it has been selected for phytochemical screening, further fractionations and assay. Phytochemical screening showed alkaloids and terpenoids present in the HM 1.2. The HM 1.2 and its fractions (F1, F2, F1C1, F1C2, F1C3, and F1C4) were proven to inhibit COX-1, COX-2, and sPLA2 activity in the range of 60.516-116.886%, 20.554- 116.457%, and 70.2667-114.8148%, respectively.Conclusions: This study revealed that bacteria associated with H. amboinensis have produced anti-inflammatory activity via reducing NO production and inhibiting COX-1, COX-2, and sPLA2 activity.

Armillariella mellea (AM), also known as Mi-Huan-Ku, a popular medicinal fungus used in the traditional Chinese medicine for treating headache, neurasthenia and insomnia. In the present study, our aim was to determine the effects of aqueous (AAM) and ethanol (EAM) extracts of A. mellea on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response by measuring the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 (COX-1 and COX-2) protein expression, cytokines (TNF-α, IL-4 and IL-8) formation, nitric oxide (NO) release and prostaglandin (PGE2) production in human monocytic (THP-1) cells. At concentration of 100 μg/ml, EAM, but not AAM, effectively protected against LPS-induced cell death in THP-1 cells. At concentrations of 10~100 μg/ml, EAM showed a potent anti-inflammatory activity as demonstrated by a dose-dependent inhibition of LPS (1 μg/ml)-induced release of NO and PGE2, and significantly decreased the transcription of proinflammatory cytokines. EAM at 100 μg/ml significantly blocked the LPS induction of iNOS and COX-2 expression, but not COX-1. Therefore, the protective effect of EAM against LPS-induced inflammatory mediators release could explain, at least in part, its effectiveness in alleviating certain inflammatory related diseases.

Background: The pyrazolines give the reactions of aliphatic derivatives, resembling unsaturated compounds in their behavior towards permanganate and nascent hydrogen. This nucleus has been associated with various biological activities including inflammatory. Thiazolinone is a heterocyclic compound that contains both sulfur and nitrogen atom with a carbonyl group in their structure.Thiazolinone and their derivatives have attracted continuing interest because of their various biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-proliferative, antiviral, anticonvulsant etc. The aim of the research was to club pyrazoline nucleus with thiazolinone in order to have significantanti-inflammatory activity. The synthesized compounds were chemically characterized for the establishment of their chemical structures and to evaluate as anti-inflammatory agent. Method: In the present work, eight derivatives of substituted pyrazoline (PT1-PT8) were synthesized by a three step reaction.The compounds were subjected to spectral analysis by Infrared, Mass and Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and elemental analysis data. All the synthesized were evaluated for their in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. The synthesized derivatives were evaluated for their affinity towards target COX-1 and COX-2, using indomethacin as the reference compound molecular docking visualization through AutoDock Vina. Results: Compounds PT-1, PT-3, PT-4 and PT-8 exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity at 3rd hour being 50.7%, 54.3%, 52.3% and 57% respectively closer to that of the standard drug indomethacin (61.9%).From selected anti-inflammatory targets, the synthesized derivatives exhibited better interaction with COX-1 and COX-2 receptor, where indomethacin showed docking score of -6.5 kJ/mol, compound PT-1 exhibited highest docking score of -9.1 kJ/mol for COX-1 and compound PT-8 having docking score of 9.4 kJ/mol for COX-2. Conclusion: It was concluded that synthesized derivatives have more interaction with COX-2 receptors in comparison to the COX-1 receptors because the docking score with COX-2 receptors were very good. It is concluded that the synthesized derivatives (PT-1 to PT-8) are potent COX-2 inhibitors.

Abstract Novel benzofurane-pyrazolone hybrids have been synthesized for evaluating their anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic properties. 4-(2-chloroacetyl)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one were reacted with α-hydroxy aldehyde or α-hydroxy ketone derivatives to obtain nine novel pyrazolone derivatives. Structures were successfully elucidated by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and HRMS. Enzyme inhibitory activity was measured on cyclooxygenases (COXs) as considered to address anti-inflammatory activity. Compound 2 showed the highest activity on both COX-1 and COX-2 subtypes with 12.0 μM and 8.0 μM IC50, respectively. This activity was found close to indomethacin COX-2 inhibition measured as 7.4 μM IC50. Rest of the compounds (1, 3–9) showed 10.4–28.1 μM IC50 on COX-2 and 17.0–35.6 μM IC50 on COX-1 (Compound 1 has no activity on COX-1). Tested compounds (1–9) showed activity on NO production. Only compound was the 4, which showed a low inhibition on IL-6 levels. Cell viability was up to 60% at 100 μM for all compounds (1–9) on RAW 264.7 and NIH3T3 cell lines, thus compounds were reported to be noncytotoxic.

Background. Guizhi Fuling capsule (GFC), a well-known formula composed of five medicinal herbs, is commonly prescribed to treat primary dysmenorrhea, as well as to achieve good clinical efficacy in China. However, the active components of GFC have not been identified. Here, the anti-inflammatory functions of GFC, as well as its major ingredients, were evaluated in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Methods. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used in HUVECs to imitate the cellular inflammation. Then, GFC-triggered mRNA expressions of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and COX-2 were determined by real-time PCR, while the expression of COX-2 protein was revealed by western blotting. Besides, nine components of GFC were evaluated for their contribution value in the anti-dysmenorrhea effects Results. The application of GFC downregulated the mRNA expressions of COX-1 and COX-2 mRNAs. Nine major components of GFC were tested in the inflammatory system, and three compounds, including paeoniflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin, and amygdalin, exhibited robust activation in HUVECs. The combination of paeoniflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin, and amygdalin showed over 80% of the anti-inflammatory activation. Conclusion. Our study supports that GFC plays a promising role in anti-dysmenorrhea function by decreasing COXs’ expression. Besides, paeoniflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin, and amygdalin could be considered as major regulators for the anti-dysmenorrhea effects of GFC.

Thus, compounds 5a–b are used as an initiative to prepare many new heterocyclic compounds such as 2-(4-(3-methylbenzodifuran- 2-carbox-amido) pyrimidine) acetic acid (6a–b), N-(thiazolo[3, 2-a]pyrimidine)-3-methylbenzo- difuran-2-carboxamide (7a–b), N-(2-thioxopyrimidine)-methylbenzodifuran-2-carbimidoylchloride (8a–b), N-(2-(methyl-thio) pyrimidine)-3-methylbenzodifuran-2-carbimidoylchloride (9a–b), N-(2, 6 -di(piperazine or morpholine)pyrimidine)-1-(3-methylbenzodifuran)-1-(piperazine or morpholine) methanimine(10a–d), 8-(methylbenzodifuran)-thiazolopyrimido[1,6-a][1,3,5]triazine-3,5-dione (11a –b), 8-(3-methyl benzodifuran)-thiazolopyrimido[6,1-d][1,3,5]oxadiazepine-trione (12a–b), and 2,10 -di(sub-benzylidene)-8-(3-methylbenzodifuran)-thiazolopyrimido[6,1-d][1,3,5]oxadiazepine-3,5,11- trione (13a–f). All new chemical structures were illustrated on the basis of elemental and spectral analysis (IR, NMR, and MS). The new compounds were screened as cyclooxygenase-1/ cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-1/COX-2) inhibitors and had analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. The compounds 10a–d and 13a–f had the highest inhibitory activity on COX-2 selectivity, with indices of 99–90, analgesic activity of 51–42% protection, and anti-inflammatory activity of 68%–59%. The inhibition of edema for the same compounds, 10a–d and 13a–f, was compared with sodium diclofenac as a standard drug.

This study was aimed at the evaluation of the anti-inflammatory activity of twelve compounds isolated from the methanolic extract of fruits of Terminalia chebula. The activity was determined in terms of their ability to inhibit inducible nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Two gallotannins [chebulinic acid (1) and 2,3,6-tri- O-galloyl-β-D-glucose (2)] and two triterpenoids [arjunic acid (3) and arjunolic acid (4)] efficiently reduced nitric oxide (NO) production with IC50 values of 53.4, 55.2, 48.8, and 38.0 μM, respectively. The protein expressions of iNOS and COX-2 were decreased in macrophages by treatment with compounds 1–4 (54–69% and 33–37%, respectively) at 50 μM. This is the first report of anti-inflammatory property of 1–4 mediated by inhibition of iNOS and COX-2 activities at the cellular level.
