| Bioactivity | Chelidonic acid is a component of Chelidonium majus L., used as an antimicrobial. Chelidonic acid also shows anti-inflammatory activity. Chelidonic acid has potential to inhibit IL-6 production by blocking NF-κB and caspase-1[1]. Chelidonic acid is a glutamate decarboxylase inhibitor, with a Ki of 1.2 μM[2]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Chelidonic acid dose-dependently decreases IL-6 production at 0.1-10 μM, inhibits expression of IL-6 mRNA at 1-10 μM[1].Chelidonic acid (0.1-10 μM) decreases caspase-1 activation, nuclear NF-κB activation, and increases cytosol NF-κB activation[1].Chelidonic acid is a glutamate decarboxylase inhibitor, with a Ki of 1.2 μM. Chelidonic acid does not promote formation of apoenzyme or react with free pyridoxal-P[2]. | ||||||||||||
