The activation of PLA2 by means of pro-inflammatory cytokines results in the subsequent release of arachidonic acid (AA) and generates eicosanoids, which further propagate inflammation. By 6the cyclooxygenases (COX1/2) responsible for the enzymatic conversion of AA to eicosanoids, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are effective in relieving the pain and discomfort of inflammation. By using AA release assay as a guide for biological and anti-inflammatory activity, novel compound 1-O-(3-O-linolenoyl-6-deoxy-6-sulfo-?-D-glucopyranosyl)-glycerol (1) together with five known compounds isovitexin, byzantionoside B, tricin 4?-O-(erythro-?-guaiacylglyceryl) ether 7-O-?-glucopyranoside, 1-O-feruloyl glycerol and tricin 7-glucoside were isolated from the methanol extract of the aerial parts of Sclerochloa dura using LC techniques (Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, preparative HPLC and semi-preparative HPLC). All isolated compounds were identified using spectroscopic NMR spectroscopy and MS spectrometry. Novel compound (1) was found to be an effective inhibitor of AA release with an IC50 value of 0.09 ? 0.03 mg mL-1.

Phytochemical investigation of the methanol extract of the aerial parts of Iris minutiaurea (Iridaceae) using column chromatography led to the isolation of a new xanthone glycoside, 1-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy-xanthone-6- O-β-D-glucoside (1), together with one known flavonoid glycoside (2). The structure of this new compound was elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic, including ID (1H, 13C), 2D NMR (COSY, HMQC, HMBC), and high resolution fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric (HR-FAB-MS) data and enzyme hydrolysis. We found that compounds 1 and 2 significantly suppressed production of NO, and pro-inflammatory cytokine in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. These results suggest that compound 1 and 2 have anti-inflammatory activity related with production of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-β, and NO in macrophages, and then compound 1 were more efficient than compound 2 in lowering the level of proinflammatory cytokine.

Inflammatory Effect

Background:<em> Anthocephalus cadamba </em>(Rebox)Miq. (Rubiaceae) is widely distributed throughout the greater part of India, especially at low levels in wet place. Traditionally the bark is used as tonic, febrifuge and to reduce the pain and inflammation. The anti-inflammatory effect of methanol extract obtained from <span style="font-style: italic;"> Anthocephalus cadamba </span> aerial parts, MEAC, were investigated in this study. Design and methods: The effects of MEAC on the acute and chronic phases of inflammation were studied in carrageenan, dextran and mediators (histamine and serotonin) induced paw edema and cotton pallet-induced granuloma, respectively. The anti-edema effect of MEAC was compared with 10 mg/kg of indomethacin orally. Results: The results suggested that MEAC possess potent anti-inflammatory activity. The acute inflammatory model showed that all the doses of MEAC effectively suppressed the edema produced by histamine, so it may be suggested that its anti-inflammatory activity is possibly backed by its antihistaminic activity. In chronic inflammatory model the effect may be due to the cellular migration to injured sites and accumulation of collagen and mucopolysaccharide. Conclusions: On the basis of these findings, it may be inferred that <span style="font-style: italic;"> Anthocephalus cadamba </span> is an anti-inflammatory agent and the results are in agreement with its traditional use.

Chromatographic investigation of the methylene chloride/methanol extract of aerial parts of Achillea coarctata afforded two new guaiane acid derivatives, 1α,6α,8α-trihydroxy-5α,7βH-guaia-3,10(14),11(13)-trien-12-oic acid (1) and 1α,6α,8α-trihydroxy-5α,7βH-guaia-3,9,11(13)-trien-12-oic acid (2), in addition to three known compounds, ligustolide-A (3), arteludovicinolide-A (4) and austricin (5). Structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses including: 1H and 13C NMR, COSY, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY NMR spectroscopy, as well as MS analysis. Proliferation of beneficial macrophages was significantly enhanced by treatment with 1 and 2. Additionally, treatment with compounds 2 and 4 led to a potentially significant inhibition in nitric oxide generation from raw murine macrophage 264.7, which was stimulated by bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Compounds 2 and 4 exhibited anti-inflammatory properties, based on a nitric oxide assay.

Copper(II) complexes bearing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are known to potently kill cancer stem cells (CSCs), a subpopulation of tumour cells with high metastatic and relapse fidelity. One of the major disadvantages associated to these copper(II) complexes is their instability in the presence of strong cellular reductants (such as ascorbic acid). Here we present a biologically stable copper(II)-NSAID complex containing a bathocuproinedisulfonic acid disodium ligand and two indomethacin moieties, Cu(bathocuproinedisulfonic acid disodium)(indomethacin)2, 2. The copper(II) complex, 2 kills bulk breast cancer cells and breast CSC equally (in the sub-micromolar range) and displays very low toxicity against non-tumorigenic breast and kidney cells (IC50 value > 100 µM). Three-dimensional cell culture studies show that 2 can significantly reduce the number and size of breast CSC mammospheres formed (from single suspensions) to a similar level as salinomycin (an established anti-breast CSC agent). The copper(II) complex, 2 is taken up reasonably by breast CSCs and localises largely in the cytoplasm (>90%). Cytotoxicity studies in the presence of specific inhibitors suggest that 2 induces CSC death via a reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cyclooxygenase isoenzyme-2 (COX-2) dependent apoptosis pathway.

In a previous study, we demonstrated the anti-inflammatory activity of the essential oil extracted from Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis, Sieb. et Zucc.) wood. This study aims to investigate the active anti-inflammatory constituents of P. koraiensis oil. The essential oil was extracted from P. koraiensis wood by hydrodistillation and was divided into six fractions (A–F) through fractional distillation. Then, the anti-inflammatory activities of the fractions (A–F) were determined. Fractions A and F markedly downregulated the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines as well as the secretion of β-hexosaminidase in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RBL-2H3 cells. The main constituents of the active anti-inflammatory A and F fractions were (+)-α-pinene, (−)-β-pinene, (+)-α-terpineol, 3-carene, (+)-limonene, and longifolene. These six single compounds decreased the expression of inflammatory-related genes (i.e., IL-4 and IL-13) as well as the secretion of β-hexosaminidase in LPS-stimulated RBL-2H3 cells. (+)-α-Pinene, (−)-β-pinene, (+)-α-terpineol, and longifolene exhibited the strongest effects; these effects were comparable to those of the positive control (i.e., dexamethasone). The findings indicate that the interactions between these components exhibit potential for the management and/or treatment of inflammatory conditions as well as base structures for the development of novel anti-inflammatory drugs.

Licorice, the root and rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralansis Fisch, is one of the most frequently used Traditional Chinese Medicines in rigorous clinical trials to remove toxins and sputum, and to relieve coughing. However, the aerial parts are not used so widely at present. It has been reported that the aerial parts have many bioactivities such as anti-microbial and anti-HIV activities. In this study, we aimed to discover the bioactive compounds from the leaves of G. uralensis. Four new compounds, licostilbene A-B (1–2) and licofuranol A-B (3–4), together with eight known flavonoids (5–12), were isolated and identified from the leaves of G. uralensis. Their structures were elucidated mainly by the interpretation of high-resolution electrospray mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic data. Compared with quercetin, which showed a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 4.08 μg/mL, compounds 1–9 showed significant anti-inflammatory activities by inhibiting lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production with IC50 values of 2.60, 2.15, 3.21, 3.25, 2.00, 3.45, 2.53, 3.13 and 3.17 μg/mL, respectively. The discovery of these active compounds is important for the prevention and treatment of inflammation.

Satureja cuneifolia Ten. (wild savoury) belongs to the Lamiaceae family and is used to produce essential oil and aromatic water. This plant is also used as a condiment and herbal tea due to its stimulating, tonic and carminative effects. The in vitro antioxidant, anti-urease, anticholinesterase and cytotoxic activities of the different extracts from the plant’s aerial parts were examined. Besides, the in vivo anti-inflammatory activities of the fraction and direct methanol extracts were determined comparatively. In the current study, fraction methanol extract exhibited the strongest ABTS (52.34 mM trolox/mg extract) radical scavenging and ferric reduction (17.22 mM Fe2+/mg extract) activity. It was also found that the fraction methanol extract had stronger anti-urease (12.52%) and anticholinesterase (69.02%) activity than other extracts.  The XTT results showed that fraction methanol extract had the most cytotoxic activity on MCF-7 cell lines (39.92%).  According to the results of in vivo anti-inflammatory activity, it was found that both fraction and direct methanol extracts exhibited close and significant anti-inflammatory activity. The fact that methanol extracts have significant biological activity suggests that these may be used as a natural source in the future.

The aim of this study was to investigate the phytochemical profile of the methanol extract of the aerial parts of Sedum sediforme and to identify its secondary metabolites. By means of chromatographic separation and enrichment of compounds, HPLC-ESI-MS, HRMS, 1D-, 2D- NMR and/or comparison with reference compounds, three triterpenes, two sterols, ten flavonoids and twelve phenolic compounds were identified, together with two new compounds, i.e. (2 R*, 3 R*)-5,7-dihydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-4-chromanone-7- O-ß-D-glucoside (27) and butan-2- O-rutinoside (28). Out of the 29 identified secondary metabolites, 18 are described as ingredients of S. sediforme herein for the first time. Furthermore, myricitrin, one of the major constituents, was tested for its ability to inhibit different enzymes within the arachidonic acid cascade in order to determine its anti-inflammatory properties. Whereas there was only either weak or no inhibition of the microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) and the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), myricitrin showed strong inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), with an IC50 of 7.8 ± 0.2 μM.

Abstract: Introduction: According to the present knowledge, the effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) depends on the inhibitory ratio of cyclooxigenase (COX)-1 to COX-2 in the plasma membranes. In addition to cardiovascular and gastrointestinal side effects, there are adverse symptoms which can be divided into cross-intolerance (non-immune mediated) and single or multiple hypersensitive (immune mediated) reactions. Due to clinical phenotypes and to in vivo aspirin reactivity, adverse effects could be further classified. Aim: The aim of these studies was a comparison of hit ratios obtained by a humoral serum test measuring specific immunglobulin E (IgE) against a rapid cellular test measuring interleukin (IL)-6 release from sensitized mononuclear cells due to various suspect NSAID after symptoms within one year. Retrospective case studies were performed in in- and out-patients of our teaching hospital in Budapest, between 2003 and 2013. Method: Specific anti-NSAID IgE levels were determined by ELISA in 55 cases. The other matching group of patients consisted of 51 patients and 9 tolerant persons. Their separated cells’ supernatants were checked for IL-6 release incubated for 20 minutes by NSAID dilutions including intraassay controls by two-step ELISA assay. Both groups have been stratified according to “new” clinical classification. Results: Results have disclosed no significant differences among the distribution of clinical symptoms between the two groups. In both groups, 9 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were tested representing all frequently used compounds with COX-1 inhibitory potential. The overall positivity rate was nearly double (65.4% against 36.9%) within the group using IL-6 release assay against that with specific IgE as the diagnostic tool. In certain cases, non-drug components of commercial preparations prompted IL-6 release as well which was paralleled by in vivo test results. Positive in vitro tests were obtained in both groups with clinically cross-intolerant as well as single or multiple sensitized cases. Conclusion: The rates of single or multiple sensitized cases exceeded in both groups that of cross-intolerant patients. In some phenotypes belonging to the latter categories, IgE type antibodies against acetylsalicylic acid could be detected as well. IL-6 release assay was the more sensitive test. In addition to pure drugs, other ingredients of medicines could also be responsible for adverse events. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(38): 1556–1566.
