- Effects of Eugenol and Dehydrodieugenol B from Nectandra leucantha against Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-Induced Experimental Acute Lung Inflammation(2021) I, Marcia Bittencourt-Mernak; PINHEIRO, Nathalia M.; SILVA, Rafael C. da; PONCI, Vitor; BANZATO, Rosana; PINHEIRO, Aruana J. M. C. R.; OLIVO, Clarice R.; TIBERIO, Iolanda F. L. C.; LIMA NETO, Lidio G.; SANTANA, Fernanda P. R.; LAGO, Joao H. G.; PRADO, Carla M.Acute lung injury (ALI) is an important public health problem. The present work investigated whether dehydrodieugenol B treatment, a compound isolated from Brazilian plant Nectandra leucantha (Lauraceae), modulates experimental ALI and compared the observed effects to eugenol. Effects of dehydrodieugenol B in vitro in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells were evaluated. The lung and systemic inflammatory profile, lung function, and possible mechanisms involved in BALB/C male mice (6-8 weeks) with ALI induced by LPS instillation (5 mg/kg) was assayed. Dehydrodieugenol B did not affect the cell viability and inhibited the increase in NO release and IL-1 beta and IL-6 gene expression induced by LPS. In vivo, both compounds reduced lung edema, inflammatory cells, and the IL-6 and IL-1 beta levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, as well as reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and those positive to iNOS, MMP-9, and TIMP-1, and reduced the collagen content and the 8-isoprostane expression in lung tissue. Eugenol and dehydrodieugenol B also inhibited the phosphorylation of Jc-Jun-NH2 terminal Kinase (JNK), a signaling protein involved in the MAPKinase pathway. There was no effect of these compounds in lung function. Therefore, eugenol and dehydrodieugenol B ameliorates several features of experimental ALI and could be considered as a pharmacological tool to ameliorate acute lung inflammation.

- Evidences of Herbal Medicine-Derived Natural Products Effects in Inflammatory Lung Diseases(2016) SANTANA, Fernanda Paula R.; PINHEIRO, Nathalia M.; MERNAK, Marcia Isabel B.; RIGHETTI, Renato F.; MARTINS, Milton A.; LAGO, Joao H. G.; LOPES, Fernanda D. T. Q. dos Santos; TIBERIO, Iolanda F. L. C.; PRADO, Carla M.Pulmonary inflammation is a hallmark of many respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and acute respiratory syndrome distress (ARDS). Most of these diseases are treated with anti-inflammatory therapy in order to prevent or to reduce the pulmonary inflammation. Herbal medicine-derived natural products have been used in folk medicine and scientific studies to evaluate the value of these compounds have grown in recent years. Many substances derived from plants have the biological effects in vitro and in vivo, such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids. Among the biological activities of natural products derived from plants can be pointed out the anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antiplatelet, antitumor anti-allergic activities, and antioxidant. Although many reports have evaluated the effects of these compounds in experimental models, studies evaluating clinical trials are scarce in the literature. This review aims to emphasize the effects of these different natural products in pulmonary diseases in experimental models and in humans and pointing out some possible mechanisms of action.
