Inhibition of NF-kB and metalloproteinase-9 expression and secretion by parthenolide derivatives
摘要:
Semisynthetic derivatives of parthenolide (1) were tested on NF-kappa B driven transcription and metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression and secretion. The four membered ring compounds 5 and 6, obtained by acidic treatment of 1, exhibited a higher activity with respect to 1 in all the biological assays. Then an increased ability of the 5 and 6 to inhibit NF-kappa B driven transcription may lead to a down-regulation of MMP-9 expression and secretion. This work provides new details about the structural requisites for NF-kappa B inhibition. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Five sesquiterpenelactones were isolated fromMichelia champaca root bark. One of these, michampanolide (2,7-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethyl-11-methylene-13-oxatricyclo[8,3,0,0,3,b]tridecan-12-one), possessed a new skeleton, while two others, 8-acetoxyparthenolide and magnograndiolide, were isolated for the first time from M. champaca.
五种倍半萜内酯是从含笑根皮中分离出来的。其中之一,michampanolide(2,7-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethyl-11-methylene-13-oxatricyclo[8,3,0,0,3,b]tridecan-12-one),拥有一个新的骨架,而另外两种,8-乙酰氧基小白菊内酯和 magnograndiolide,则是首次从 M. champaca 中分离出来。
