Anti‐Inflammatory Activities of Melatonin Derivatives in Lipopolysaccharide‐Stimulated RAW 264.7 Cells and Antinociceptive Effects in Mice

Abstract: Preclinical Research This study describes the anti-inflammatory activities of two semisynthesized melatonin (MT) derivatives, benzoyl-melatonin (BMT) and acetyl-melatonin (AMT), on the production of pro-inflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophage cells (RAW 264.7) and their antinociceptive effects in mice. The MT derivatives inhibited production of nitric oxide NO and prostaglandin E2 in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 values lower than those of M… Show more

“…Subsequently, a range of melatonin doses was selected, and the effect of such doses was investigated through the behavior of cells grown in proliferation medium in order to determine whether growth inhibition resulted from the cytotoxic effect of melatonin on osteoclast precursors or from its inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation. It was found that melatonin did not produce cytotoxic effects on the cells in the range of 100-1000 μM, and that coincides with results in the literature (Phiphatwatcharaded et al, 2014).…”

“…These findings are in accordance with literature as many experiments were performed to study the effect of BMP-2 on osteoclast formation using doses of 100 or 300 ng/mL and no cytotoxic effect was detected when they were used [9,28]. In similar manner, the cytotoxic effect of MEL on RAW 264.7 cells was investigated in the range of 250-2000 µM and MTT results showed no decrease in cell viability [33]. [34].…”

“…In an innate immune response, melatonin can modulate the main cellular components, such as macrophages, NK cells and monocytes, by increasing cellularity or promoting cell activity 30. It has been reported that melatonin has anti-inflammatory effects in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages 31. However, no information exists on whether melatonin can alter tumor cells to attenuate an immunosuppressive state.…”
