The overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is known to be responsible for vasodilation and hypotension observed in septic shock and inflammation. Inhibitors of iNOS, thus, may be useful candidates for the treatment of inflammatory diseases accompanied by overproduction of NO. In the course of screening oriental anti-inflammatory herbs for the inhibitory activity of NO synthesis, a crude methanolic extract of Curcuma zedoaria exhibited significant activity. The activity-guided fractionation and repetitive chromatographic procedures with the EtOAc soluble fraction allowed us to isolate three active compounds. They were identified as 1,7-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,4,6-heptatrien-3-one (1), procurcumenol (2) and epiprocurcumenol (3) by spectral data analyses. Their concentrations for the 50% inhibition of NO production $(IC_{50})$ in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages were 8, 75, 77 ${\mu}M$, respectively. Compound 1 showed the most potent inhibitory activity for NO production in LPS-activated macrophages, while the epimeric isomers, compound 2 and 3 showed weak and similar potency. Inhibition of NO synthesis by compound 1 was very weak when activated macrophages were treated with 1 after iNOS induction. In the immunoblot analysis, compound 1 suppressed the expression of iNOS in a dose-dependent manner. In summary, 1,7-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,4,6-heptatrien-3-one from Curcuma zedoaria inhibited NO production in LPS-activated macrophages through suppression of iNOS expression. These results imply that the traditional use of C. zedoaria rhizome as anti-inflammatory drug may be explained at least in part, by inhibition of NO production.

Yang at the College of Pharmacy, Sookmyung Womens University. A voucher specimen (No. SPH 97008) was deposited in the herbarium of the Sookmyung Womens University. The rhizomes of C.
이론/모형
Cell viability was assessed by using a 3-(4, 5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT, Sigma)-based colorimetric assay (Mosmann, 1983). Cells in 96-well plates (5×103 cells/well) were exposed to various concentrations of sample at 37℃, 5% CO2 in air for 24 h.
성능/효과
The resuIts were expressed as mean±S.D. of three experiments, and statistical analysis was performed by the Students t-test, and a P value of <0.05 was considered to indicate a significant difference.
7 cells resulted in strong inhibition of NO production. These results showed that NOS inhibitors-L-NMMA, an arginine analog, and aminoguanidine, an iNOS specific inhibitor, inhibited production of NO by iNOS. HQweve「, compound 1 could not inhibit the NO production when treated after the completion of iNOS induction.
