Green plant-origin electrophilic compounds are a newly-recognized class of neuroprotective compounds that provide neuroprotection through activation of the Nrf2/ARE pathway. Electrophilic hydroquinones are of particular interest due to their ability to become electrophilic quinones upon auto-oxidation. Although marine organisms frequently produce a variety of electrophilic compounds, the detailed mechanisms of action of these compounds remain unknown. Here, we focused on the neuroprotective effects of strongylophorine-8 (STR8), a para-hydroquinone-type pro-electrophilic compound from the sponge Petrosia (Strongylophora) corticata. STR8 activated the Nrf2/ARE pathway, induced phase 2 enzymes, and increased glutathione, thus protecting neuronal cells from oxidative stress. Microarray analysis indicated that STR8 induced a large number of phase 2 genes, the regulation of which is controlled by the Nrf2/ARE pathway. STR8 is the first example of a neuroprotective pro-electrophilic compound from marine organisms. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
