Abstract

A flavonoid hesperetin is reported to have a variety of biological activities, including anticancer, antiviral, antioxidant, neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. Thirty-one novel hesperetin derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity using RAW264.7 cells and CCl4-induced acute liver injury model. Among these compounds, 5b displayed the excellent anti-inflammatory activity on decreasing NO, IL-6 and TNF-α both in vitro and vivo. In addition, 5b could also reduce the release of NO, IL-6 and TNF-α production by LPS stimulated RAW 264.7 cell through MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathway in a concentration dependent manner. From in vivo study, it was also observed that 5b attenuated liver histopathologic changes in mouse models.
