Aims: Our previous study showed that the extract of Inula japonica Thunb. (I. japonica) has anti-inflammatory and anti-asthmatic activities. In an attempt to find anti-inflammatory compounds from I. japonica, we recently isolated 1,6 alpha-dihydroxy-4 alpha H-1,10-secoeudesma-5(10),11(13)-dien-12,8 beta-olide (SE), 6 alpha-isobutyryloxy-1-hydroxy-4 alpha H-1,10-secoeudesma-5(10),11(13)-dien-12,8 beta-olide (IBSE), and 6 alpha-isovaleryloxy-1-hydroxy-4 alpha H-1,10-secoeudesma-5(10),11(13)-dien-12,8 beta-olide (IVSE) from the extract of I. japonica, and investigated their inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells.Main methods: The inhibitory effect of IVSE, SE and IBSE on NO production in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells was examined using Griess reagent, and the effects of IVSE on the expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and its upstream signal proteins including I kappa B kinase (IKK)/inhibitor kappa B (I kappa B)-alpha/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) were investigated by Western blot.Key findings: Among the 3 compounds isolated, SE, IBSE, and IVSE inhibited NO production at 2.5 mu M with 5.1%, 40.4%, and 52.8%, respectively. IVSE displayed the most potent inhibition of NO production. Mechanism analysis indicated that IVSE dramatically decreased the expression of iNOS, reduced the translocation of the NF-kappa B subunit p65 into the nucleus by interrupting the phosphorylation and degradation of I kappa B-alpha, and inhibited the activation of the upstream mediator IKK alpha/beta. Furthermore, our results showed that IVSE inhibited the phosphorylation of MAPKs including extracellular regulated kinases (ERK1/2), c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and p38.Significance: IVSE exhibited anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting NO production, in which inactivation of NE-kappa B and MAPKs might be involved. Our results suggest that IVSE might become an anti-inflammatory drug candidate. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
