چکیده
We investigated the antioxidative activity of LX519290, a derivative of l-allo threonine, in vitro and in vivo. To evaluate the antioxidative activity of LX519290, we performed several in vitro assays (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical-scavenging assays, a ferric reducing antioxidant power assay, cupric-reducing antioxidant capacity, and oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay) and evaluated inhibition against the generation of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in murine macrophage (RAW264.7) cells. The results showed that LX519290 possessed very strong radical scavenging activity and reducing power, and inhibited NO and ROS generation in a dose-dependent manner without showing any cytotoxicity. LX519290 treatment also increased the total thiol content and glutathione S-transferases (GST) activities in RAW264.7 cells. Finally, we also determined whether LX519290 affects the mRNA levels of antioxidant enzymes in vitro and in vivo. The expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase (CAT) were markedly higher in the sample-treated group than in the oxidative stress group. LX519290 treatment also increased the transcriptional and translational activities of NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf-2) with corresponding increases in the transcriptional and translational activities of haeme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Collectively, the data demonstrated that LX519290 has potent antioxidative activity, decreases NO and ROS generation, increases total thiol content and GST activities in RAW264.7 cells, and increases the transcriptional and translational levels of antioxidant enzymes in vitro and in vivo.

Alleviation of asthma-related symptoms by a derivative of L-allo threonine.
Chronic asthma is characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration and tissue remodeling, leading to subepithelial inflammation. In order to evaluate the anti-asthmatic activity of LX519290, a derivative of L-allo threonine, we performed several in vitro and in vivo anti-asthmatic assays. Using ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized C57BL/6 mice, the effects of LX519290 on lung inflammation and cytokine exp...

In this study, the effect of crocin, a substance found in Crocus sativus L. stigmata on nervous system development and regeneration was investigated. Crocin is a glycosyl ester of the polyene dicarboxylic acid crocetin and is one of the few families of carotenoids found in nature, which are freely soluble in water. In the first experiment, the effect of crocin (30 microM, 60 microM and 120 micr...
