1,10-Secoguaianolides from Artemisia austro-yunnanensis and Their Anti-Inflammatory Effects.

ABSTRACT: Seven 1,10-secoguaianolides 1?7, including a new one (compound 1), were isolated from Artemisia austro-yunnanensis and identified by HRESIMS and other spectroscopic methods. Their anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated by the model of LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells in vitro. Bioassay results showed that six of them (1?4, 6 and 7), with the exception of 5, produce some cytotoxicity on RAW264.7 cells at its high dosage, can significantly decrease the release of NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and PGE2 in a dose dependent manner, and down-regulate the expression of proteins iNOS and COX-2. The mechanism study indicated they regulated the NF-κB dependent transcriptional activity through decreasing the phosphorylation of NF-κB. Further, the relationship between their structures and cytokines to anti-inflammatory were studied by PCA and discussed.

Project description:BackgroundAdenosine is a potent endogenous anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory molecule. Despite its promise, adenosine's extremely short half-life in blood limits its clinical application. Here, we examined adenosine N1-oxide (ANO), which is found in royal jelly. ANO is an oxidized product of adenosine at the N1 position of the adenine base moiety. We found that it is refractory to adenosine deaminase-mediated conversion to inosine. We further examined the anti-inflammatory activities of ANO in vitro and in vivo.MethodsThe effect of ANO on pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion was examined in mouse peritoneal macrophages and the human monocytic cell line THP-1, and compared with that of adenosine, synthetic adenosine receptor (AR)-selective agonists and dipotassium glycyrrhizate (GK2). The anti-inflammatory activity of ANO in vivo was examined in an LPS-induced endotoxin shock model in mice.ResultsANO inhibited secretion of inflammatory mediators at much lower concentrations than adenosine and GK2 when used with peritoneal macrophages and THP-1 cells that were stimulated by LPS plus IFN-γ. The potent anti-inflammatory activity of ANO could not be solely accounted for by its refractoriness to adenosine deaminase. ANO was superior to the synthetic A1 AR-selective agonist, 2-chloro-N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA), A2A AR-selective agonist, 2-[p-(2-carboxyethyl)phenethylamino]-5'-N-ethylcarboxamideadenosine hydrochloride (CGS21680), and A3 AR-selective agonist, N(6)-(3-iodobenzyl)adenosine-5'-N-methyluronamide (IB-MECA), in suppressing the secretion of a broad spectrum of pro-inflammatory cytokines by peritoneal macrophages. The capacities of ANO to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine production by THP-1 cells were comparable with those of CCPA and IB-MECA. Reflecting its potent anti-inflammatory effects in vitro, intravenous administration of ANO significantly reduced lethality of LPS-induced endotoxin shock. A significant increase in survival rate was also observed by oral administration of ANO. Mechanistic analysis suggested that the up-regulation of the anti-inflammatory transcription factor c-Fos was, at least in part, involved in the ANO-induced suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion.ConclusionsOur data suggest that ANO, a naturally occurring molecule that is structurally close to adenosine but is functionally more potent, presents potential strategies for the treatment of inflammatory disorders.
