Abstract

We previously reported that extract of Rosa rugosa root and its active triterpenoids constituents exhibit anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects in animal models. However, little is known about the effects and the molecular mechanism of the 19α-hydroxyursane-type triterpenoids. Among the tested 19α-hydroxyursane-type triterpenoids (kaji-ichigoside F(1), rosamultin, euscaphic acid, tormentic acid (TA)), TA was found to most potently inhibit the production of nitric oxide (NO) in RAW 264.7 cells. We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects and its underlying molecular mechanisms of TA in lipopolysaccaride (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. TA dose-dependently reduced the productions of NO, prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced by LPS. In addition, TA significantly suppressed the LPS-induced expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and TNF-α at the mRNA and protein levels. Moreover, treatment with TA decreased LPS-induced DNA binding of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and nuclear translocation of p65 and p50 subunits of NF-κB. Consistent with these findings, TA also suppressed the LPS-stimulated degradation and phosphorylation of inhibitor of kappa B-α (IκB-α). Taken together, these results suggest that the anti-inflammatory activity of TA is associated with the down-regulation of iNOS, COX-2, and TNF-α through the negative regulation of the NF-κB pathway in RAW 264.7 cells.

tarkistin Suomi24 areenalta onko siellä ruusujuuriasioista ja onhan siitä Rosenrot tippoja myydään ja ruusujuurella oletetaan olevan mahtavia tehoja.
Suosittelisin kuitenkin asiaa vielä tiedemiesten ja lääketehtaiten alueeksi ja pysyttelmistä kielukan käytössä, koska juuri uute vaikuttaa makrofagituman tapahtumiin.
