Meta-substituted piperlongumine derivatives attenuate inflammation in both RAW264.7 macrophages and a mouse model of colitis
BIOORGANIC CHEMISTRY(2021)
摘要
Piperlongumine (PL) has been showed to have multiple pharmacological activities. In this study, we reported the synthesis of three series of PL derivatives, and evaluation of their anti-inflammatory effects in both lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced Raw264.7 macrophages and a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mouse model of colitis. Our results presented that two meta-substituent containing derivatives 1-3 and 1-6, in which gamma-butyrolactam replaced alpha,beta-unsaturated delta-valerolactam ring of PL, displayed low cytotoxicity and effective antiinflammatory activity. Molecular docking also showed that the meta-substituted derivative, compared with the corresponding ortho- or para-substituted derivative, had significant interactions with the amino acid residues of CD14, which was the core receptors recognizing LPS. In vitro and in vivo studies, 1-3 and 1-6 could inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the excessive production of reactive nitrogen species and reactive oxygen species. Oral administration of 100 mg/kg/day of 1-3 or 1-6 alleviated the severity of clinical symptoms of colitis in mice, and significantly reduced the colonic tissue damage to protect the colonic tissue from the DSS-induced colitis. These results suggested that meta-substituted derivatives 1-3 and 1-6 were potential antiinflammatory agents, which may lead to future pharmaceutical development.
