Sofalcone (Sof), a synthetic analog of sophoradin, is a type of natural phenol derived from the traditional medicinal herb , with potent anti-inflammatory activity. However, the mechanisms of action of Sof for treating intestinal-associated inflammation are not well known. In this work, we identified high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) as the key covalent target of Sof for the anti-inflammatory activity in the human colonic epithelial cells through quantitative chemoproteomics profiling.
苦参素(Sof)是苦参堿的合成类似物,是一种天然酚类化合物,来源于传统中药,具有很强的抗炎活性。然而,Sof 治疗肠道相关炎症的作用机制尚不清楚。在这项工作中,我们通过定量化学蛋白质组学分析,确定高迁移率族蛋白 B1(HMGB1)是 Sof 在人结肠上皮细胞中抗炎活性的关键共价靶标。
