摘要: Buxidin (1) and E-Buxenone (2), steroidal alkaloids from Buxus hyrcana, are found to possess potent immunosuppressive properties. The activity was tested in vitro on oxidative burst, chemotaxis, T-cell proliferation, cytokine production. Both compounds showed a significant immunomodulatory with clear suppressive effect burst chemotaxis dose-dependent manner. They also exhibited the phytohemagglutinin-stimulated proliferation. further confirmed by suppression of IL-2 IL-4 Furthermore, molecular docking studies were performed investigate binding mode (2) IL-2. Despite structural differences between results revealed that they adopt similar pattern at active site A good agreement practical theoretic indicates current study could provide an alternate tool for optimization recently identified ligand as more inhibitors.
