Abstract

Inflammation is an extensively recognized link to many pathological diseases. It is a host response for protection from infections and tissue damage. Infections trigger acute inflammation; however, persistent infection will contribute to chronic inflammation and higher disease susceptibility. Deregulated inflammatory responses can cause excessive or long-lasting tissue damage, manifested as cancer, immune disorders, diabetes, etc. NF-κB is a central mediator of pro-inflammatory gene induction and functions in both innate and adaptive immune cells; therefore, the anti-inflammatory regulation of NF-κB is needed. Natural products reportedly play an important role in controlling the inflammatory response pathways. However, the anti-inflammatory activities of isopimara-8-(14),15-diene diterpenoids have not yet been fully elucidated. To elucidate the anti-inflammatory activities of the isopimara-8(14),15-diene diterpenoids, we investigated 21 isopimara-8(14),15-diene diterpenoids previously isolated from Kaempferia pulchra rhizomes. Eleven compounds exhibited NO inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells, with IC<sub>50</sub> values ranging from 30 to 100 μM. Furthermore, the most potent kaempulchraols P and Q, with IC<sub>50</sub> values of 39.88 and 36.05 μM, respectively, inhibited the NF-κB-mediated transactivation of a luciferase reporter gene, IL-6 production, and COX-2 expression, with an effective dose of 25 μM. These findings provide new insights into the anti-inflammatory activities of the isopimara-8(14),15-diene diterpenoids.
