Popis: Uncontrolled and excessive microglial activation is known to contribute to inflammation-mediated neurodegeneration. Therefore, reducing neurotoxic microglial activation may serve as a new approach to preventing neurodegeneration. Here, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of panduratin A against microglial activation induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in the SIMA9 microglial cell line. We initially examined the anti-inflammatory properties of panduratin A by measuring LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production and the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6). Panduratin A significantly reduced NO levels and pro-inflammatory cytokines’ production and secretion. In addition, panduratin A enhanced the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-10. The anti-inflammatory effects of panduratin A are related to the suppression of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Together, these results demonstrate the anti-inflammatory properties of panduratin A against LPS-induced microglial activation, suggesting panduratin A has the potential to be further developed as a new agent for the prevention of neuroinflammation-associated neurodegenerative diseases.
