Morroniside cinnamic acid conjugate as an anti-inflammatory agent. Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 20(16), pp.4855-4857.http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11810/3367Full text can be accessed at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960894X10008693A morroniside cinnamic acid conjugate was prepared and evaluated on E-selectin mediated cell-cell adhesion as an important role in inflammatory processes. 7-O-Cinnamoylmorroniside exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory activity (IC(50)=49.3 microM) by inhibiting the expression of E-selectin; further, it was more active than another cinnamic-acid-conjugated iridoid glycoside (harpagoside; IC(50)=88.2 microM), 7-O-methylmorroniside, and morroniside itself. As a result, 7-O-cinnamoylmorroniside was observed to be a potent inhibitor of TNF-alpha-induced E-selectin expression.enMorroniside7-O-CinnamoylmorronisideAnti-inflammatory activityJournal Article10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.06.095 · Source: PubMed
