pubmed:abstractText |
The methanolic extract of the roots of Saussurea lappa CLARKE, a Chinese medicinal herb Saussureae Radix, was found to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated mouse peritoneal macrophages. Among the constituents from the methanolic extract, two sesquiterpene lactones (costunolide and dehydrocostus lactone) and two amino acid-sesquiterpene conjugates (saussureamines A and B) potently inhibited LPS-induced NO production (IC(50)=1.2-2.8 microM). Saussureamines A and B in addition to costunolide and dehydrocostus lactone did not inhibit iNOS enzyme activity, but they inhibited both induction of inducible NO synthase and activation of nuclear factor-kappaB in accordance with induction of heat shock protein 72.
