RESUMO

An evaluation of Indonesian plants to identify compounds with immune modulating activity revealed that the methanolic extract of an Alphonsea javanica Scheff specimen possessed selective anti-inflammatory activity in a nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) luciferase and MTT assay using transfected macrophage immune (Raw264.7) cells. A high-throughput LC/MS-ELSD based library approach of the extract in combination with the NF-κB and MTT assays revealed the styryl lactone (+)-altholactone (2) was responsible for the activity. Compound 2, its acetylated derivate (+)-3-O-acetylaltholactone (3), and the major compound of this class, (+)-goniothalmin (1), were further evaluated to determine their anti-inflammatory potential in the NF-κB assay. Concentration-response studies of 1-3 indicated that only 2 possessed NF-κB based anti-inflammatory activity. Compound 2 reduced the LPS-induced NO production, phosphorylation of IκBα, and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) using Western blot analysis. Further studies using qPCR indicated 2 reduced the expression of eight pro-inflammatory cytokines/enzymes (0.8-5.0µM) which included: COX-2, iNOS, IP-10, IL-1ß, MCP-1, GCS-F, IL-6 and IFN-ß. These results indicated that 2 displays broad spectrum immune modulating activity by functioning as an anti-inflammatory agent against LPS-induced NF-κB signaling. Conversely the selective cytotoxicity and in vivo anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory activity previously reported for 1 do not appear to arise from a mechanism that is linked to the NF-κB immune mediated pathway.
