Bioactivity | Dehydrocurdione, a zedoary-derived sesquiterpene, induces heme oxygenase (HO)-1, an antioxidative enzyme, in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Dehydrocurdione interacts with Keap1, resulting in Nrf2 translocation followed by activation of the HO-1 E2 enhancer. Dehydrocurdione suppresses lipopolysaccharide-induced NO release, a marker of inflammation. Anti-inflammatory activity[1][2]. |
Invitro | Dehydrocurdione (RAW 264.7 cells) concentration-dependently increases the HO-1 mRNA level for 3 hr and the protein level for 6 hr, and both effects reached significance at a concentration of 100 μM[1].Dehydrocurdione interacts with Keap, resulting in Nrf2 translocation followed by activation ofthe HO-1 E2 enhancer[1].
