摘要: In this study, we found that alpha-pinene (α-pinene) exhibits anti-inflammatory activity through the suppression of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway in mouse peritoneal macrophages. α-Pinene is oils many coniferous trees rosemary. We investigated inhibitory effects on inflammatory responses induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) using significantly decreased LPS-induced production interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nitric oxide (NO). also inhibited inducible synthase (iNOS) cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expressions LPS-stimulated Additionally, activations MAPKs NF-κB were attenuated means α-pinene treatment. These results indicate has an effect it a potential candidate as new drug to treat various diseases.
