Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Praeruptorin C, D, and E (PC, PD, and PE) are three pyranocoumarins isolated from the dried root of Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn of Umbelliferae. In the present study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of these compounds in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells. Pyranocoumarins significantly inhibited LPS-induced production of nitric oxide, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). The mRNA and protein expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase, IL-6, and TNF-α were also suppressed by these compounds. Both PD and PE exhibited greater anti-inflammatory activities than PC. Further study showed that pyranocoumarins suppressed the cytoplasmic loss of inhibitor κB-α protein and inhibited the translocation of NF-κB from cytoplasm to nucleus. In addition, pyranocoumarins suppressed LPS-induced STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation. Taken together, the results suggest that pyranocoumarins may exert anti-inflammatory effects in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages through the inhibition of NF-κB and STAT3 activation.
