In an initial screening, the dichloromethane extract from the leaves of Melodorum fruticosum showed distinct inhibitory effects on the release of interleukin-8 (IL-8) in human neutrophils. Therefore, the aim of the present study was the phytochemical and pharmacological investigation of this extract, to better understand which compounds might be responsible for the anti-inflammatory effect. Phytochemical analysis led to the isolation of 12 known compounds and two new natural products, 5-hydroxy-6-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-4',7-dimethoxyflavanone (13) and 2',4'-dihydroxy-3'-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-4,6'-dimethoxychalcone (14). The influence of the isolated compounds on the production and release of the pro-inflammatory factors IL-8, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and adhesion molecules (CD62L and CD11b) in human neutrophils was evaluated. Three constituents, melodamide A, 2',4'-dihydroxy-4,6'-dimethoxychalcone, and 2',6'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxychalcone, showed significant inhibition of IL-8 release (IC =6.6, 8.6, and 11.6 μm, respectively) and TNF-α production (IC =4.5, 13.3, and 6.2 μm, respectively).
在初步筛选中,紫玉盘叶的二氯甲烷提取物对人中性粒细胞中白细胞介素-8(IL-8)的释放显示出明显的抑制作用。因此,本研究的目的是对该提取物进行植物化学和药理学研究,以更好地了解哪些化合物可能是抗炎作用的原因。植物化学分析导致分离出12种已知化合物和两种新的天然产物,5-羟基-6-(2-羟基苄基)-4',7-二甲氧基黄酮(13)和2',4'-二羟基-3'-(2-羟基苄基)-4,6'-二甲氧基查耳酮(14)。评估了分离出的化合物对人中性粒细胞中促炎因子IL-8、肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)、活性氧(ROS)和粘附分子(CD62L和CD11b)的产生和释放的影响。三种成分,紫玉盘酰胺A、2',4'-二羟基-4,6'-二甲氧基查耳酮和2',6'-二羟基-4'-甲氧基查耳酮,对IL-8释放(IC分别为6.6、8.6和11.6 μ m)和TNF-α产生(IC分别为4.5、13.3和6.2 μ m)显示出显著抑制作用。
