Biochem/physiol Actions

Ligstroside is a natural product derived from leaves of Olea europaea. Ligstroside displays several potentially beneficial anti-inflammatory properties by exhibiting selective inhibition effect on COX-1 enzyme of arachidonate cascade metabolism. Ligstroside generates a reduction of the PGE₂ (prostaglandin E₂) levels in activated mouse macrophage (IC50 = 48.53 μM) and also reduction of the TXB₂ (thromboxane B₂) levels in human platelets (IC50 = 122.63 μM). Moreover, Ligstroside exhibits inhibition activity of NO production in LPS-activated RAW264.7 macrophages (17.8% at 30 μM and 40.7% at 100 μM) without any cytotoxic effect in these cells.^, Additionally, Ligstroside exhibits in vitro antiviral activity against parainfluenza type 3 virus (IC50 = 15.6 μM).
