Three metabolites and 12 analogues of nobiletin (1) were synthesized. Whereas nobiletin derivatives 2-4 inhibited pro-MMP-9 production similarly in both PMA- and TNF-alpha-stimulated human lens epithelial cells, the 2'-hydroxylated analogue 5a exerted marked inhibitory effects (IC50: 0.4 mu M) on PMA-treated cells, which were 170-fold more potent than those on TNF-alpha-treated cells. This activity may be closely related to PKC-mediated transcriptional regulation of pro-MMP-9. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
