Balanophonin (1-10 μM; 24 h) reduces Lipopolysaccharides (LPS; HY-D1056)-mediated TLR4 activation and NO production in BV2 cells[1].
Balanophonin (1-10 μM; 6 h) reduces iNOS and COX2 protein expression and TNF-α and IL-1β production in LPS-induced microglial cells[1].
Balanophonin (1-10 μM; 30 min) effectively inhibits MAPK activation[1].
Balanophonin (1-10 μM; 24 h) inhibits neuronal cell death resulting from LPS-activated microglia by regulating cleaved caspase-3 and poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) cleavage in N2a cells[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:LPS-activated BV-2 cells
-
Concentration:1, 5, and 10 μM
-
Incubation Time:30 min for MAPKs, 6 h for iNOS and COX2 and 24 h for PGE2, TNF-α and IL-1β
-
Result:Downregulated TLR4. Reduced iNOS and COX2 expression. Significantly reduced the secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β. Decreased the phosphorylation of MAPKs such as pERK, pJNK, and p-p38.
