Pinocembrin or 5, 7-dihydroxyflavanone is a flavanone, a type of flavonoid. In the present study, we first assessed the anti-inflammatory effects of pinocembrin in RAW macrophage cells; and based on these effects, we investigated the therapeutic effects of pinocembrin in murine model of endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. We found that in vitro pretreatment with pinocembrin remarkably regulated the production of INF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6 and IL-10 via inhibiting the phosphorylation of I kappa B alpha, ERK1/2, JNK and p38MAPK. In the mouse model of LPS-induced acute lung injury, pinocembrin (20 or 50 mg/kg, i.p.) attenuated the development of pulmonary edema, histological severities, as well as neutrophil, lymphocyte and macrophage infiltration, which were increased by LPS administration. Additionally, INF-alpha, IL-1 beta and IL-6 concentrations decreased significantly while the concentration of IL-10 was significantly increased after pinocembrin pretreatment. Our results also showed that pinocembrin attenuated LPS-induced lung injury through suppression of I kappa B alpha, JNK and p38MAPK activation. These findings suggest that pinocembrin may represent a novel candidate for the modulation of inflammatory responses. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
