Azaphilones, Furanoisophthalides, and Amino Acids from the Extracts of Monascus pilosus-Fermented Rice (Red-Mold Rice) and Their Chemopreventive Effects

Abstract: Six azaphilones, monascin (1), ankaflavin (2), rubropunctatin (3), monascorburin (4), rubropunctamine (5), and monascorburamine (6), two furanoisophthalides, xanthomonasin A (7) and xanthomonasin B (8), and two amino acids, (+)-monascumic acid (9) and (-)-monascumic acid (10), isolated from the extracts of Monascus pilosus-fermented rice (red-mold rice) were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation in mice, on the induction of Epstein-Barr virus … Show more

“…All azaphilones showed weak to very weak antioxidant activities (Table 1) compared to the known standard, ascorbic acid. In particular, compounds (8)(9)(10) in group C were void of any activity, so the inhibition of NO production in RAW cells was not due to their free-radical scavenging activities.…”

“…2,3) Although previous publications showed that azaphilones exhibit broad activities in many biological systems, such as cholesteryl ester transfer protein, 4) monoamine oxidase inhibition, 5) endothelin receptor binding, 6) the inhibition of gp120-CD4 binding, 7) telomerase inhibition, 8) the induction of Epstein-Barr virus, 9) and antimicrobial activities, 3,10,11) there is no report about the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production by azaphilones.…”

“…RMR, a common fermented product of Monascus, has been used as a traditional cuisine and medicinal agent in Eastern Asia for several centuries. Currently, RMR is recognized as a functional food because of the proven benefits of some of its secondary metabolites, such as monacolins (cholesterollowering agents), 44 g-aminobutyric acid (hypotensive agent), 45 azaphilone pigments (anti-inflammatory agents) 46 and dimerumic acid, tannin, phenol and unsaturated fatty acids (antioxidants). 14,15 Monacolin K, also known as lovastatin, is usually the most abundant monacolin in RMR.…”

However, whether FRes have bifidogenic growth stimulating effects in vitro is not known.…”
