Chemical constituents from Melastoma dodecandrum and their inhibitory activity on interleukin-8 production in HT-29 cells.
    Natural product research, 2014, Volume: 28, Issue:17

    In search of anti-inflammatory lead compounds from traditional Chinese medicines, a bioassay-guided phytochemical study on Melastoma dodecandrum was carried out. As a result, 18 compounds have been isolated. Their chemical structures were determined on the basis of their physicochemical properties and spectral data. Among the isolates, three pentacyclic triterpenoids, ursolic acid (1), asiatic acid (3) and terminolic acid (6), together with one tannin casuarinin (17), were found to significantly decrease interleukin-8 (IL-8) production in human colon cancer cells. The results imply, at least in part, that the anti-inflammatory effect of M. dodecandrum could be due to inhibition of IL-8 production, demonstrated by these naturally occurring compounds described above.

Casuarinin suppresses TNF-α-induced ICAM-1 expression via blockade of NF-κB activation in HaCaT cells.
    Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 2011, Jun-17, Volume: 409, Issue:4

    Hippophae rhamnoides has been extensively used in oriental traditional medicines for treatment of asthma, skin diseases, gastric ulcers, and lung disorders. In this study, we isolated casuarinin from the leaves of H.rhamnoides and examined the effect of casuarinin on the TNF-α-induced ICAM-1 expression in a human keratinocytes cell line HaCaT. Pretreatment with casuarinin inhibited TNF-α-induced protein and mRNA expression of ICAM-1 and subsequent monocyte adhesiveness in HaCaT cells. Casuarinin significantly inhibited TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation. In addition, casuarinin inhibited activation of ERK and p38 MAPK in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, pretreatment with casuarinin decreased TNF-α-induced pro-inflammatory mediators, such as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1. These results demonstrated that casuarinin exerts its anti-inflammatory activity by suppressing TNF-α-induced expression of ICAM-1 and pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines via blockage of activation of NF-κB and ERK/p38 MAPK and can be used as a therapeutic agent against inflammatory skin diseases.
