Abstrakt: Oxomollugin is a degraded product of mollugin and was found to be an active compound that inhibits LPS-induced NF-κB activation. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory activity of oxomollugin, focusing on TLR4 signaling pathway, resulting in NF-κB activation. Oxomollugin inhibited the LPS-induced association of essential factors for initial activation of TLR4 signaling, MyD88, IRAK4 and TRAF6. Furthermore, oxomollugin showed suppressive effects on LPS-induced modification of IRAK1, IRAK2 and TRAF6, LPS-induced association of TRAF6-TAK1/TAB2, and followed by IKKα/β phosphorylation, which critical in signal transduction leading to LPS-induced NF-κB activation. The consistent results suggested that oxomollugin inhibits LPS-induced NF-κB activation via the suppression against signal transduction in TLR4 signaling pathway. The activities of oxomollugin reported in this study provides a deeper understanding on biological activity of mollugin derivatives as anti-inflammatory compounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
