Anti-neuroinflammatory effects of citreohybridonol involving TLR4-MyD88-mediated inhibition of NF-кB and MAPK signaling pathways in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated BV2 cells

In the course of searching for anti-neuroinflammatory metabolites from marine fungi, citreohybridonol was isolated from marine-derived fungal strain Toxicocladosporium sp. SF-5699. Citreohybridonol inhibited production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in BV2 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Citreohybridonol also suppressed the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and other...
