Synthesis of urolithin derivatives and their anti-inflammatory activity

Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Two series of urolithin derivatives, totally 38 compounds, were synthesized. Their anti-inflammatory activity was investigated by detecting the inhibitory effects on the expression of TNF-α in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), showing that 24 of 38 ones reduced the expression of TNF-α. Compound B2, the ring C opened derivative of urolithin B with a butoxycarbonyl substitution in ring A, showed the strongest inhibitory activity compared with that of indomethacin. Furthermore, B2 treatment decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, iNOS and COX-2. Mechanically, the anti-inflammatory effect of B2 was related to the inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway. These results clearly illustrated that B2 hold potential for application as an anti-inflammatory agent. The present study provided a viable approach to modify the gut metabolites for anti-inflammatory drug development.
