Vlasouliolides A-D, four rare C17/C15 sesquiterpene lactone dimers with potential anti-inflammatory activity from Vladimiria souliei

چکیده
Vlasouliolides A-D (1-4), four rare sesquiterpene lactone dimers, were isolated from Vladimiria souliei. The common structural characteristic of 1-4 is the C32 skeleton comprising two sesquiterpene lactone units linked by a C11-C13' single bond with one acetyl connected to the C-13 position of one of the two sesquiterpene lactone units. The stereochemistries of 1-4 were assigned by a combination of NOESY correlations and Cu-Κα X-ray crystallographic analyses. Compounds 1-4 strongly inhibited the production of NO in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, 1 and 2 inhibited the activation of NF-κB in LPS-induced 293T cells.

Santonin, a sesquiterpene lactone, commonly found in the plants of the family Compositae was found to show significant antiinflammatory activity on acute inflammatory processes. The activity profile of santonin closely resembled that of a standard non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug, diclofenac sodium. It also showed a significant inhibitory effect on granuloma formation; however, this effect o...
