Octaphlorethol A inhibits the CpG-induced inflammatory response by attenuating the mitogen-activated protein kinase and NF-κB pathways

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2013;77(9):1970-2. doi: 10.1271/bbb.130299. Epub 2013 Sep 7.

Abstract

Octaphlorethol A is a phenolic compound isolated from the marine alga Ishige foliacea. In the present study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of octaphlorethol A in CpG-stimulated primary murine bone marrow-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. It exhibited anti-inflammatory activity by regulating the mitogen-activated protein kinase and NF-κB pathways.
