METHODS AND RESULTS:
Bioassay-guided column chromatographic separation of the methanolic extract of dried aerial parts of Piper kadsura (Piperaceae) led to the isolation of a new neolignan, piperkadsin C (1), together with eight known neolignans (2-9). The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by combined spectroscopic methods. The anti-neuroinflammatory activities of these compounds were evaluated by assessing nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-activated BV-2 cells, a microglia cell line.
CONCLUSIONS:
Piperkadsin C (1) and futoquinol (2) potently inhibited NO production with an IC(50) value of 14.6 and 16.8microM in microglia cells, respectively. Compounds 3, 4, 5, 8, and 9 also exhibited moderate inhibition of NO production in BV-2 cells. | | J Nat Prod. 2006 May;69(5):842-4. | | Anti-inflammatory neolignans from Piper kadsura.[Pubmed: 16724856 ] |
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Two new neolignans, piperkadsin A (1) and piperkadsin B (2), as well as 11 known neolignans, three known alkaloids, the highly oxygenated compound (+)-crotepoxide, and stigmasterol were isolated from the stems of Piper kadsura. The anti-inflammatory activities of these compounds were evaluated.
CONCLUSIONS:
Compounds 1, 2, Futoquinol (3), piperlactam S (4), and N-p-coumaroyl tyramine (5) showed potent inhibition of PMA-induced ROS production in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils with IC(50) values 4.3 +/-1.0, 12.2 +/- 3.2, 13.1 +/- 5.3, 7.0 +/- 1.9, and 8.4 +/- 1.3 microM, respectively. |
