Methanol Extract of <i>Hydroclathrus clathratus</i> Inhibits Production of Nitric Oxide, Prostaglandin E<sub>2</sub> and Tumor Necrosis Factor-&#945 in Lipopolysaccharidestimulated BV2 Microglial Cells via Inhibition of NF-&#954B Activity

Abstract: Purpose: Hydroclathrus clathratus is a brown marine seaweed known to possess anti-cancer, anti-herpetic, and anti-coagulant activities. The present study is aimed at investigating some anti-inflammatory effects of H. clathratus. Methods: We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of the methanol extract of H. clathratus (MEHC) by expression of mRNA and protein using RT-PCR and Western blot analysis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV2 microglial cells. The level of nitric oxide (NO) production was ana… Show more

“…H.clathratus is known to possess anticancer, anti-herpetic, anti-inflammatory, and anticoagulant properties and is now used as a mineral supplement in cosmetics and as soil additive (fertilizer) for its high concentration of micronutrients [20]. Extracts of H.clathratus have antiviral [21], antitumour [22], and antimicrobial [23] activity. The present study was aimed to explore the natural antioxidant activity of H.clathratus against copper-induced lung injury in male white albino rats.…”
