Abstract

Activated microglia are known to be a major source of cellular neuroinflammation which causes various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. In our continuing efforts to search for new bioactive phytochemicals against neuroinflammatory diseases, the 80% methanolic extract of (Pteridaceae) roots was found to exhibit significant NO inhibitory activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated BV-2 microglia cells. Three new -kaurane diterpenoids, pterokaurane M₁ 2--β-d-glucopyranoside (), 2β,16α-dihydroxy--kaurane 2,16-di--β-d-glucopyranoside (), and 2β,16α,17-trihydroxy--kaurane 2--β-d-glucopyranoside (), were isolated along with nine other known compounds from roots. The chemical structures of the new compounds were determined by 1D- and 2D-NMR, HR-ESI-MS, and CD spectroscopic data analysis. Among the isolates, compounds and significantly inhibited NO production in LPS-stimulated BV-2 cells reducing the expression of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein and the level of pro-inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6. These results suggest that -kaurane diterpenes from could be potential lead compounds that act as anti-neuroinflammatory agents.
