To develop novel anti-inflammatory agents, a series of unsaturated glycyrrhetic acids were designed, synthesized and evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity using RAW264.7 cells. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) of NO inhibitory activity was analyzed. α,β-Unsaturated glycyrrhetic acids showed better activity, among them, compounds 6k and 6l with piperazine unit exhibited the most potent nitric oxide (NO) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) inhibitory activity (IC = 13.3 and 15.5 μM respectively). Furthermore, compound 6k could also significantly suppress LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 expression and IL-6 production through MAPKs and NF-kB signaling pathway.
为了开发新型抗炎药物,设计、合成了一系列不饱和甘草次酸,并通过 RAW264.7 细胞评估其抗炎活性。分析了 NO 抑制活性的构效关系(SAR)。α,β-不饱和甘草次酸表现出更好的活性,其中具有哌嗪单元的化合物 6k 和 6l 表现出最强的一氧化氮(NO)和白细胞介素-6(IL-6)抑制活性(IC 分别为 13.3 和 15.5μM)。此外,化合物 6k 还可以通过 MAPKs 和 NF-kB 信号通路显著抑制 LPS 诱导的 iNOS 和 COX-2 表达和 IL-6 产生。
