Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is essential for converting epoxy fatty acids, such as epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), into their dihydroxy forms. EETs play a crucial role in regulating blood pressure, mediating anti-inflammatory responses, and modulating pain, making sEH a key target for therapeutic interventions. Current research is increasingly focused on identifying sEH inhibitors from natural sources, particularly marine environments, which are rich in bioactive compounds due to their unique metabolic adaptations. In this study, the sEH inhibitory activities of ten cembranoid diterpenes ( 1 - 10 ) isolated from the soft coral Sinularia maxima were evaluated. Among them, compounds 3 and 9 exhibited considerable sEH inhibition, with IC 50 values of 70.68 μM and 78.83 μM, respectively. Enzyme kinetics analysis revealed that these two active compounds inhibit sEH through a non-competitive mode. Additionally, in silico approaches, including molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations, confirmed their stability and interactions with sEH, highlighting their potential as natural therapeutic agents for managing cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases. |
