The wide range of inflammation mechanisms under control by NF-kappa B makes this pathway as an attractive target for new anti-inflammatory drugs. Herein, we showed that a new dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan analog XLYF-104-6, with a chemical name of 1,2,3,10,11-pentamethoxydibenzocycloocta-6,7-[c] pyrrole-1,3-dione, inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NF-kappa B activation in RAW264.7 cells through preventing I kappa B alpha degradation and p65 nuclear translocation. The inhibitory activity of this compound on NF-kappa B activation contributes to the reduction of LPS-induced TNF-alpha and IL-6 productions. Notably, XLYF-104-6 suppressed LPS-induced iNOS expression and NO production in a NF-kappa B independent manner, since IKK inhibitor BAY 11-7082 has failed to exert similar inhibitory effect on iNOS expression and NO production. In addition, XLFY-104-6 also exerted anti-inflammatory action in endotoxemic mice by decreasing plasma LPS-induced TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta levels as well as increasing plasma LPS-induced IL-10 concentrations. These findings suggest XLYF-104-6 could act as a leading compound for developing a potential anti-inflammatory drug. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.
