Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To screen, isolate and identify the compounds with anti-inflammatory activity from Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen. METHODS: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to stimulate RAW264.7 macrophages, and this model was further used to screen and separate active compounds from Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen, followed by compound chemical structure identification using mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. Griess assay was performed to measure the released nitric oxide (NO), and ELISA was applied to detect TNF-α content. RESULTS: Compound I (sativanone) showed strong anti-inflammatory activity (IC50;=12.48 g/mL). Isoliquiritigenin (compound III), naringenin (compound IV) and liquiritigenin (compound V) had moderate anti-inflammatory activity, with IC50; value at 18.33, 42.59, 29.43 g/mL, respectively. Compound II and compound VI had no anti-inflammatory activity with concentration at 50 g/mL. Sativanone, isoliquiritigenin, liquiritigenin and naringenin at their concentrations ranging from 3.125-50 g/mL, could inhibit NO release in RAW264.7 cells stimulated by LPS. Sativanone (compound I) could also inhibit TNF-α secretion from LPS stimulated RAW264.7 cells. CONCLUSION: Liquiritigenin, isoliquiritigenin, naringenin and sativanone isolated from Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen, could reduce NO release from LPS-stimulated macrophage cell line (RAW264.7), at a dose-dependent manner. What's more, sativanone play an anti-inflammatory role also through inhibiting inflammatory cytokine TNF-α.
