Abstract:
To observe the effects of phenylallyl compounds on prostaglandin E
2(PGE
2)release in mouse cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (bEnd.3) stimulated by IL-1
β, and to analyze their structure-activity relationship. Different concentrations of phenylallyl compounds were added separately, and the content of PGE
2 induced by IL-1
β in the culture media was measured by ELISA assay. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC
50) of PGE
2 was calculated. Studies showed that phenylallyl compounds could affect the PGE
2 release differently in bEnd.3 cells induced by IL-1
β. Close relationships were shown between the inhibitory activities and the location and number of the substituent groups. In conclusion, phenylallyl compounds exhibited inhibitory activities at different extent on PGE
2 release in bEnd.3 cells stimulated by IL-1
β and presented certain structure-activity relationship.
