Liriodendrin
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Liriodendrin is an orally effective lignan compound with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-platelet aggregation activities. Liriodendrin is isolated and extracted from Sargentodoxae caulis and Linaria vulgaris. Liriodendrin regulates the expression of genes related to inflammation and cellular metabolism by inhibiting the NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, and TLR4 signaling pathways, or by activating the PI3K-DDX18 pathway. Liriodendrin increases the expression of HSF1 and HSP27 without cytotoxicity. Liriodendrin is used in studies on ulcerative colitis, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, sepsis-induced acute lung injury, and chronic endometritis.

In Vitro
Liriodendrin (20-100 μM; pretreatment for 2 h) inhibits LPS (HY-D1056)-stimulated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and suppresses NF-κB activation in RAW 264.7 macrophages, but does not affect Akt phosphorylation[5].
Liriodendrin (0.45-2.25 mM; 24 h) dose-dependently promotes cell proliferation, promotes cell cycle transition, and increases milk protein synthesis in bovine mammary epithelial cells (MECs)[6].
Liriodendrin (20-100 μM; 24 h) protects mitochondrial morphology, inhibits apoptosis, and suppresses NF-κB signaling pathway activation in rat cardiomyocytes H9C2 under hypoxia/reoxygenation conditions[3].
Liriodendrin (50 μM) inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and suppresses NF-κB (p65) phosphorylation in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells[4].
Liriodendrin (3 μM; 12 h) induces HSF1 and HSP27 protein expression in L132 human lung fibroblasts[1].
Liriodendrin shows no cytotoxicity in L132 human lung fibroblasts at concentrations up to 5 μM[1].

Liriodendrin (100 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; from 5 days before surgery to 3 days after surgery) ameliorates ventricular remodeling, inhibits inflammatory cytokines, and attenuates cardiomyocyte apoptosis in a male Wistar rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation[3].
Liriodendrin (20 mg/kg; i.p.; administered at 0 and 6 h after CLP, days 1-5) improves survival, alleviates lung histopathological injury, and inhibits pro-inflammatory mediator production in a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced acute lung injury model of sepsis in male C57BL/6 mice[4].
