Cyclooxygenase‐2 inhibitory and antioxidant compounds from the truffle Elaphomyces granulatus

Abstract: The ethanol extract of fruiting bodies of Elaphomyces granulatus, a truffle-like fungus, was evaluated for cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme inhibitory and antioxidant activities. Inhibition of COX-2 activity was evaluated in mouse macrophages (RAW 264.7). The extract of E. granulatus caused a 68% inhibition of COX-2 activity at 50 microg/mL. Bioassay-guided investigation led to the isolation and identification of two active compounds, syringaldehyde and syringic acid. Syringaldehyde moderately inhibited COX-2 a… Show more

“…Cyclooxygenase are enzymes involved in the process of inflammation (Noreen, Ringbom, Perera, Danielson, & Bohlin, 1998). They catalyse the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, prostacyclins, and thromboxanes from arachidonic acid (Zhang, Mills, & Nair, 2003;Diyabalanage, Mulabagal, Mills, DeWitt, & Nair, 2008;Stanikunaite, Khan, Trappe, & Ross, 2009;Han, Oh, & Park, 2011;Fangkrathok, Junlatat, & Sripanidkulchai, 2013).…”

“…They are reported to exert inhibitory effects on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) (Deng et al, 2000) and prostaglandin synthase (Stanikunaite et al, 2009) as well as ethyl phenylpropionateinduced edema of the rat ear (Farah & Samuelsson, 1992). Their antioxidant activity has equally been reported (Farah & Samuelsson, 1992).…”

“…Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties have been described for dihydrocoumarin, reported to be one of the major compounds in hydroalcoholic extracts. Syringaldehyde has been shown to have a moderate antioxidant activity (Bortolomeazzi et al, 2007) and a dose-dependent inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity (IC 50 = 3.5 μg/mL), thereby contributing to the anti-inflammatory properties of guaco extracts (Farah & Samuelsson, 1992;Stanikunaite et al, 2009). Kaurenoic acid (ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid) has lately been of considerable interest relating to the pharmacological activities of guaco species.…”
