The aim of this study is to explore anti-inflammatory phytochemicals from based on the inhibition of pro-inflammatory enzyme, human neutrophil elastase (HNE) and anti-inflammatory activities in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage. Three stereoisomers of iridal-type triterpenoids (-) were isolated from the roots of and their stereochemistries were completely identified by NOESY spectra. These compounds were confirmed as reversible noncompetitive inhibitors against HNE with IC values of 6.8-27.0 µM. The binding affinity experiment proved that iridal-type triterpenoids had only a single binding site to the HNE enzyme. Among them, isoiridogermanal () and iridobelamal A () displayed significant anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing the expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as iNOS, IL-1β, and TNF-α through the NF-κB pathway in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. This is the first report that iridal-type triterpenoids are considered responsible phytochemicals for anti-inflammatory effects of .
本研究旨在基于对促炎酶、人中性粒细胞弹性蛋白酶(HNE)的抑制作用和脂多糖(LPS)刺激的 RAW264.7 巨噬细胞中的抗炎活性,从 中寻找抗炎植物化学物质。从 的根部分离出三种伊达醇型三萜类化合物(-),并通过 NOESY 光谱完全确定其立体化学。这些化合物被证实为可逆的非竞争性 HNE 抑制剂,IC 值为 6.8-27.0 μM。结合亲和力实验证明,伊达醇型三萜类化合物仅与 HNE 酶有一个单一的结合位点。其中,异伊达根烷()和伊达贝马拉 A()通过 LPS 刺激的 RAW264.7 细胞中的 NF-κB 通路抑制 iNOS、IL-1β 和 TNF-α 等促炎细胞因子的表达,显示出显著的抗炎作用。这是首次报道伊达醇型三萜类化合物被认为是 的抗炎作用的负责植物化学物质。
