To identify natural products having efficacy against inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), we identified a new, 16-hydroxy-4\u03b2-carboxy-O-\u03b2-D-glucopyranosyl-19-nor-totarol (4) together with three known diterpenoids from P. macrophyllus. Furthermore, all the extracts, fractions, and isolates 1\u20134 were investigated for their anti-inflammatory effects by assessing the expression on nitric oxide (NO) production and proinflammatory cytokines in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 and HT-29 cells. Among them, nagilactone B (2) exhibited a potent anti-inflammatory effect against NO production on RAW 264.7 cells; therefore, nagilactone B was further assessed for anti-inflammatory activity. Western blot analysis revealed that nagilactone B significantly decreased the expression of LPS-stimulated protein, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, and phosphorylated extracellular regulated kinase (pERK)1\/2. In addition, nagilactone B downregulated tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-\u03b1, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-8 levels in LPS-induced macrophages and colonic epithelial cells. To our best knowledge, this is the first report on the inhibitory effect of nagilactone B (pure state) and rakanmakilactone G against NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Thus, diterpenoids isolated from P. macrophyllus could be employed as potential therapeutic phytochemicals for IBD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules26144326","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,18]],"date-time":"2021-07-18T21:16:48Z","timestamp":1626643008000},"page":"4326","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Diterpenoids Isolated from Podocarpus macrophyllus Inhibited the Inflammatory Mediators in LPS-Induced HT-29 and RAW 264.7 Cells"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"ChoEen","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Pharmacy and Research Institute of Life and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Sunchon National University, 255 Jungangno, Suncheon-si 57922, Jeonnam, Korea"},{"name":"Jeonnam Institute of Natural Resources Research, Jangheung-gun 59338, Jeonnam, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"DucDat","family":"Le","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Pharmacy and Research Institute of Life and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Sunchon National University, 255 Jungangno, Suncheon-si 57922, Jeonnam, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mina","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Pharmacy and Research Institute of Life and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Sunchon National University, 255 Jungangno, Suncheon-si 57922, Jeonnam, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1627","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(07)60750-8","article-title":"Inflammatory bowel disease: Cause and immunobiology","volume":"369","author":"Baumgart","year":"2007","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"155","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mayocp.2018.09.013","article-title":"Mechanisms of disease: Inflammatory bowel diseases","volume":"94","author":"Ramos","year":"2019","journal-title":"Mayo Clin.
