“…In addition to EGCG and quercetin, many other polyphenols and polyphenolic extracts have been found to inhibit the expression of COX-2, PGE 2 , iNOS and NO through the NF-κB pathway in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells. This includes apigenin, luteolin, luteolin-7-glucoside, prodelphinidin B-4 3′-O-gallate from green tea, 6-MITC from Wasabi japonica, oroxylin A from a traditional Chinese herb, and compound K, a metabolite of ginsenoside Rb1, itself a main constituent of the root Panax ginseng (Chen, Yang, & Lee, 2000;Hou, Luo, et al, 2007;Hu & Kitts, 2004;Liang et al, 1999;Park et al, 2005;Uto, Fujii & Hou, 2005a;Uto, Fujii, & Hou, 2005b). Interestingly, genistein and resveratrol exhibited a significant but low inhibition of the NF-κB pathway in LPS-activated murine macrophages, suggesting the action of these polyphenols occurs through alternative mechanisms (Murakami, Matsumoto, Koshimizu, & Ohigashi, 2003).…”
