N-Acetyldopamine dimer-2
N-Acetyldopamine dimer-2 (compound 2) is a N-acetyldopamine dimer that can be isolated from the yellow powder form Periostracum Cicadae with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. N-Acetyldopamine dimer-2 inhibits oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, ROS generation, NO production, and NF-κB activity.

Biological Activity
IC50: 1.5 μM (copper-mediated LDL oxidation), 2.7 μM (AAPH-mediated LDL oxidation), 1.6 μM (SIN-1-mediated LDL oxidation)[1]
N-Acetyldopamine dimer-2 inhibits copper-mediated, 2,2’azobis(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH)-mediated, and 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN)-1-mediated LDL oxidation with IC50 values of 1.5, 2.7 and 1.6 μM, respectively[1]. N-Acetyldopamine dimer-2 (100 μM; 40 min) shows strong radical scavenging capacity[1]. N-Acetyldopamine dimer-2 (0-400 μM; 2 h) dose-dependently reduces the ROS level in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells[1]. N-Acetyldopamine dimer-2 (0-400 μM; 2 h) dose-dependently and slightly decreases the NO production and iNOS protein expression in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells[1]. N-Acetyldopamine dimer-2 (0-400 μM; 2 h) decreases the mRNA levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and COX-2 and dose-dependently inhibits secretion of IL-6, and inhibits the LPS-induced NF-κB activation in RAW264.7 cells[1].
