Abstrakt
Two new compounds, euphorbinoside (1) and dehydropicrorhiza acid methyl diester (2), along with 24 known compounds (3-26) were isolated from Euphorbia humifusa Willd. The effects of these compounds on soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitory activity were evaluated. Flavonoid compounds (10-21) exhibited high sEH inhibitory activity. Among them, compounds 12, 13, and 19 greatly inhibited sEH enzymatic activity, with IC50 values as low as 18.05±1.17, 18.64±1.83, and 17.23±0.84 μM, respectively. In addition, the effects of these compounds on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) production by RAW 264.7 cells were investigated. Compounds 3-6, 8, 18, 20-23, and 25-26 inhibited the production of both NO and TNF-α, with IC50 values ranging from 11.1±0.9 to 45.3±1.6 μM and 14.4±0.5 to 44.5±1.2 μM, respectively.
