Turk et al., « NF-κB inhibitory sesquiterpene lactones from Lebanese Laurus nobilis », American University of Beirut ScholarWorks
The leaves of Laurus nobilis, commonly called as bay leaves, have been traditionally used for the treatment of inflammatory symptoms. As a part of the research on the characterization of bioactive constituents from natural products, twenty one sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the leaves of L. nobilis. Among them, laurenoperoxylides A (1) and B (2) were first reported in nature and sivosinolide (11), altissin (12), maroniolid (13) and 4α-hydroxy-guaia-10(14), 11(13)-diene-12,6α-olide (20) were first isolated from this plant. The anti-inflammatory activity of isolated compounds was evaluated by measuring their effects on the NF-κB transcriptional activity induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in RAW 264.7 macrophages cells. Among twenty one sesquiterpenes, 11-exo-methylenesantonin (9) exerted the most potent inhibition with an IC 50 value of 4.0 μM. Santamarine (4), magnolialide (5) and zaluzanin D (18) also significantly inhibited NF-κB activity with IC 50 values of
