17509409 Lee YY, Hung SL, Pai SF, Lee YH, Yang SF: Eugenol suppressed the expression of lipopolysaccharide-induced proinflammatory mediators in human macrophages. J Endod. 2007 Jun;33(6):698-702. Epub 2007 Apr 2.

Eugenol was shown to block the release of the bone resorbing mediators, including interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and prostaglandin E2 from LPS-stimulated macrophages.

Arch Dermatol Res. 2002 May;294(3):109-16. Epub 2002 Apr 9.

The aim of this study was to determine the state of maturation/activation of both populations after exposure to several concentrations of four well-established model allergens (nickel sulfate, eugenol, alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid) or the irritant sodium dodecyl sulfate.

This work was aimed to investigate the effect in vivo of a water-soluble part of hydroalcoholic extract of clove on pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta and IL-6) production by macrophages of BALB/c mice.
Eugenol was found to be the major component of the clove extract and essential oil, and probably is the causative agent of cytokine inhibition.

The sensitizers NiSO (4), dinitrochlorobenzene, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid, alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde and eugenol were applied.
Both the expression of surface markers and the induction of intracellular interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) were analyzed.

CONCLUSION: All root-end filling materials inhibited cell growth, and none induced IL-1beta and IL-6 production.

Curcumin reversibly inhibited the conversion of PGH (2) to PGE (2) by microsomal PGE (2) synthase-1 in microsomes of interleukin-1beta-stimulated A549 lung carcinoma cells with an IC (50) of 0.2 to 0.3 micromol/L.
Closely related polyphenols (e.g., resveratrol, coniferyl alcohol, eugenol, rosmarinic acid) failed in this respect, and isolated ovine COX-1 and human recombinant COX-2 were not inhibited by curcumin up to 30 micromol/L.

We here investigated wether genes encoding the interleukins IL-1beta, IL-6 and IL-8, and the chemokines CCL2, CCL3, CCL3L1 and CCL4 are useful markers for sensitization testing in CD34+-progenitor derived dendritic cells (CD34-DC).
CD34-DC from at least three donors were exposed during 0.5 up to 24h to the chemical sensitizers nickel sulphate, oxazolone, 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) and eugenol, and to the irritants sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and benzalkonium sulphate (BC). mRNA expression was evaluated using real-time RT-PCR.

Indeed, all tested allergens, except eugenol (EU), caused significant increased changes in at least four of the analyzed six markers, while non-allergens did not induce any changes.
At the same time, we have also reported that augmented expression of HLA and CD80, and production of IL-1beta were up-regulated in THP-1 cells when treated with an allergen, 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB).

In the mouse only, it has been demonstrated by other, that contact sensitizers up-regulated keratinocytes-derived interleukin-1alpha (IL-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-2 and interferon induced protein 10 mRNAs.
We investigated the effects of five relevant skin allergens (dinitrochlorobenzene, oxazolone, nickel sulfate, penicillin G and eugenol), two skin irritants (benzalkonium chloride, and methylsalicilate) and two compounds with no sensitizing activity (glycerol and ethanol) on IL-1 production in HEL30 cells.
