In this study, we present the first comprehensive phytochemical characterization of the ethanol extract of P. albidus, identifying twelve compounds through chromatographic and spectroscopic analyses. The isolated compounds were subjected to a series of antioxidant assays, including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). Cinchonain Ia (2), vitexin (6), and (7S,8R)-dihydrodehydro diconiferyl alcohol (11) demonstrated strong free radical-scavenging and reducing capacities. Evaluation of Interleukin-8 (IL-8) expression in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) revealed that catechin-(7,8-bc)-4a-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-dihydro-2(3H)-pyranone (3) and trans-ferulic acid (9) significantly increased IL-8 mRNA expression (p &lt; 0.05), indicating potential pro-inflammatory effects of these isolated constituents. In contrast, neither the crude extract (PE) nor vitexin (6) produced a statistically significant difference in IL-8 mRNA levels compared to the TNF-\u03b1 control (p &lt; 0.05). Quantitative LC-MS\/MS analysis confirmed that caffeine, theobromine, theophylline, and EGCG were below the limit of detection in P. albidus leaf extracts, indicating that P. albidus possesses a phytochemical constituent distinct from that of green tea. In summary, P. albidus leaves contain unique phytochemicals with cell-free antioxidant activity, while cell-based assays indicate potential pro-inflammatory risks for compounds 3 and 9 and no significant anti-inflammatory suppression by PE or vitexin (6).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules31193449","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,28]],"date-time":"2026-09-28T11:35:59Z","timestamp":1790595359000},"page":"3449","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluation of Interleukin-8 (IL-8) Expression in Human Aortic Endothelial Cells (HAECs) and Antioxidant Activity of Isolated Compounds from the Endemic Hawaiian Plant Pipturus albidus (M\u0101maki)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6995-0675","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pornphimon","family":"Meesakul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Daniel K.
