A. cinnamomea was fed exogenous sterols including squalene, cholesterol, and stigmasterol to enhance its triterpenoid content. Four triterpenoids were identified in A. cinnamomea, namely dehydrosulphurenic acid (De-sul), zhankuic acid A (ZaA), 15α-acetyl-dehydrosulphurenic acid (15α) and dehydroeburicoic acid (De-eb), and one polyphenyl compound, 4,7-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,3-benzodioxole (4,7-D). Maximum ZaA and 15α contents of 2.84 and 48.07 μg/mg dry weight, respectively were achieved by 100 μM squalene-feeding, and maximum De-sul and De-eb contents of 69.08 and 47.91 μg/mg dry weight were achieved by 10 and 100 μM stigmasterol-feeding, respectively. To study the anti-inflammatory potential of A. cinnamomea, lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide (NO) production, NADPH oxidase (NOX), inducible NO synthetase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in murine microglial cells, BV-2, were evaluated. ZaA and 50 μM squalene-feeding of A. cinnamomea inhibited LPS-induced NO, iNOS and COX-2 expression in BV-2 cells. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd |
