“…These results agree well with published data demonstrated that cyano-enone-bearing triterpenoids (CETs), including SM’s position isomer CDDO-Me, CDDO-Im, NZ, dh404, and SO1989, effectively inhibit the release of NO and iNOS expression in LPS/IFNγ-activated RAW264.7 cells [ 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 ] and LPS-challenged primary peritoneal macrophages [ 110 ], decreased the production of ROS, and activated the expression of HO-1 in unstimulated [ 105 , 107 ], LPS-stimulated, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells [ 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 ] as well as LPS-induced neutrophils [ 111 , 112 ]. Moreover, CDDO-Me and CDDO-MA were found to increase the production of GSH in human primary astrocytes [ 113 ] and block 3-NP neurotoxin-induced striatal GSH depletion in rats, respectively [ 114 ].…”
