Abstract

Guggulsterone is a bioactive plant sterol naturally found in migratory plants. It exists in various forms, and its active compounds include the isomers cis-guggulsterone (E-GS) and trans-guggulsterone (Z-GS). In this study, the anti-inflammatory effects of these two isomeric pregnadienedione steroids were investigated against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory reaction in RAW264.7 mouse macrophages. Our results showed that both guggulsterones inhibited the production of NO in macrophages treated with lipopolysaccharide, with IC50 values ranging from 3.0 to 6.7 μM. E-GS exerted higher efficacy than Z-GS, and its anti-inflammatory effects was mediated through inhibition of iNOS and COX-2 expression.
