19303869 Chiang J, Shen YC, Wang YH, Hou YC, Chen CC, Liao JF, Yu MC, Juan CW, Liou KT: Honokiol protects rats against eccentric exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage by inhibiting NF-kappaB induced oxidative stress and inflammation. Eur J Pharmacol. 2009 May 21;610(1-3):119-27. Epub 2009 Mar 20.


The degree of muscle damage also paralleled dramatic gene expression for cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and inflammation-associated cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), possibly through activation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappaB), a crucial proinflammatory transcription factor.

Superoxide production was quantified in synovial cells obtained from six patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and six with osteoarthritis (OA), stimulated with (i) AA, and (ii) PLA (2) inhibitors prior to IL-1beta or TNF-alpha treatment.

Thereafter, the study investigated the effects of PPE in modulating the production of pro-inflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 macrophages, and the effect of PPE on interleukin (IL)-1beta-induced matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) production and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) activation in the human synovial sarcoma cell line, SW982.

PGE (2) titration combined with interleukin-1 (IL-1) synergistically accelerated expression of pain-associated molecules such as inducible nitric oxide synthase and IL-6.

A common environmental contaminant, 2,2',4,4'-tetrabrominated biphenyl (BDE-47), was tested for differential effects on the immune response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from children with ASD (n=19) and age-matched typically developing controls (TD, n=18).
In contrast, cells cultured from subjects with ASD demonstrated an increased IL-1beta response to LPS (p=0.033) when pretreated with 100 nM BDE-47 compared with vehicle control.

To examine the contribution of cPLA2alpha to skin inflammation, we evaluated the effect of (E)-N-[(2S,4R)-4-[N-(biphenyl-2-ylmethyl)-N-2-methylpropylamino]-1-[2-(2,4 -difluorobenzoyl) benzoyl] pyrrolidin- 2-yl] methyl-3-[4-(2,4-dioxothiazolidin-5-ylidenemethyl) phenyl] acrylamide (RSC-3388), a potent and selective cPLA2alpha inhibitor, on 2,4,6-trinitro-1-chlorobenzene (TNCB)-induced ear inflammation and mite antigen-induced dermatitis in mice.
Comprehensive expression analysis using Gene-Chip technology and subsequent experiments concerning mRNA and protein expression demonstrated that RSC-3388 clearly reduced the levels of interleukin-1beta, macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha) and MIP-1beta in a TNCB-induced mouse model.

J Med Chem. 2009 Oct 22;52(20):6257-69.


p38alpha MAP kinase is a key anti-inflammatory target for rheumatoid arthritis, influencing biosynthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFalpha and IL-1beta at a translational and transcriptional level.

Over-expression of cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 1beta, elevated plasma endotoxin level, and up-regulation of CD14 were also suppressed by bicyclol in alcohol-intoxicated mice.
