We previously identified a proinflammatory signaling pathway triggered by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in which stimulation of G<jats:sub>q<\/jats:sub>-coupled GPCRs results in activation of the transcription factor NF-\u03baB. Because damage to the lung causes the release of multiple mediators acting through G<jats:sub>q<\/jats:sub>-coupled GPCRs, this signaling pathway is likely to contribute to inflammatory processes in the injured lung. In an effort to identify novel inhibitors of lung inflammation, the National Institutes of Health Clinical Collection, a library of 446 compounds, was screened for inhibitory activity toward production of IL-8 induced by stimulation of the G<jats:sub>q<\/jats:sub>-coupled tachykinin 1 receptor with substance P in A549 cells. Twenty-eight compounds that significantly inhibited substance P-induced IL-8 production were identified. The most potent inhibitor was triptolide, a diterpenoid compound from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, a vine used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Triptolide inhibited IL-8 production induced by substance P with an IC<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub> of 2.3 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>\u22128<\/jats:sup> M and inhibited NF-\u03baB activation in response to an agonist of the protease-activated receptor 2 with an IC<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub> of 1.4 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>\u22128<\/jats:sup> M. Anti-inflammatory effects of triptolide were assessed in vivo using a chlorine gas lung injury model in mice. Triptolide inhibited neutrophilic inflammation and the production of KC (Cxcl1) in the lungs of chlorine-exposed mice. The results demonstrate that triptolide exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in cultured lung cells and in an in vivo model of acute lung injury. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajplung.00014.2010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,27]],"date-time":"2010-03-27T02:53:48Z","timestamp":1269658428000},"page":"L830-L836","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["Identification of triptolide, a natural diterpenoid compound, as an inhibitor of lung inflammation"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"298","author":[{"given":"Gary W.","family":"Hoyle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, School of Public Health and Information Sciences, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christine I.","family":"Hoyle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, School of Public Health and Information Sciences, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, School of Public Health and Information Sciences, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weiyuan","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, School of Public Health and Information Sciences, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ronald W.","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, Richmond, Virginia;
