Synthesis and anti-inflammatory evaluation of novel mono-carbonyl analogues of curcumin in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages
摘要:
Curcumin is a multifunctional natural product with regulatory effects on inflammation. However, a major limitation for the application of curcumin is its poor bioavailability. We previously demonstrated that the mono-carbonyl analogues of curcumin possessed improved pharmacokinetic profiles. In this study, 33 novel mono-carbonyl analogues of curcumin were synthesized and their inhibition against TNF-alpha and IL-6 release was evaluated in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Based on the screening data, quantitative structure activity relationship was conducted, indicating that electron-withdrawing groups in benzene ring are favourable to anti-inflammatory activities of B-class compounds. Furthermore, compounds AN1 and 1382 demonstrated anti-inflammatory abilities in a dose-dependent manner. These raise the possibility that these compounds might serve as potential agents for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. (C) 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Background: 11β-Hydroxysteroiddehydrogenase one is responsible for activating inert glucocorticoid cortisone into biologically active cortisol in humans and may be a novel target for the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Methods: A series of benzylidene cyclopentanone derivatives were synthesized, and the selective inhibitory effects on rat, mouse and human11β-hydroxysteroiddehydrogenase one
