Abstract

Seven undescribed compounds, dentipellinones A‒D (1, 2, 5, and 6), dentipellinol (3), methoxyerinaceolactone B (4), and erinaceolactomer A (7), were isolated from the culture broth of Dentipellis fragilis. Chemical structures of these isolated compounds were determined by analyses of 1D and 2D-NMR and MS data in comparison with data reported in the literature. Absolute configurations of 1‒7 were also determined by Electronic Circular Dichroism calculations. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory effects on NO production and pro-inflammatory cytokines levels in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Compounds 5 and 7 were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory effects on NO production and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. They exhibited inhibitory effects on LPS-induced NO production in a dose-dependent manner, and significantly reduced the levels of inflammatory-related cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-6. TNF-α was not involved in the anti-inflammatory effects of these compounds. Finally, compounds 5 and 7 showed significant anti-inflammatory effects.
