Sauchinone 是一种非对映异构的木脂素，从 Saururus chinensis 中获得。Sauchinone 通过抑制 I-κBα 磷酸化和 p65 核易位来抑制 LPS 诱导的 iNOS，TNF-α 和 COX-2 表达。 Sauchinone 具有抗炎和抗氧化活性。 Sauchinone is a diastereomeric ligand with cytoprotective and antioxidant activities in cultured hepatocytes. Sauchinone is an inhibitor of LPS-inducible iNOS (NOS II), TNF-α and Cox-2 expression in macrophages through suppression of IκBα phosphorylation and p65 nuclear translocation and of C/EBP and/or AP-1 activation, which may have constitutive anti-inflammatory effects. Sauchinone also acts as a suppressor of NF-κB by inhibiting transactivation activity of the RelA subunit and inhibits staurosporine-induced apoptosis. Sauchinone inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis by reducing ROS generation.
