Description:
Kukoamine B is a potent dual inhibitor for both Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG motifs (CpG DNA), LPS and CpG DNA are important pathogenic molecules for the induction of sepsis,are drug targets for sepsis treatment, thus kukoamine B is worthy of further investigation as a potential candidate to treat sepsis. Kukoamine B may potentially serve as an agent for prevention of several human neurodegenerative and other disorders caused by oxidative stress, it has protective effects against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induced cell injury and potential mechanisms in SH-SY5Y cells.

A novel role of kukoamine B: Inhibition of the inflammatory response in the livers of lipopolysaccharide-induced septic mice via its unique property of combining with lipopolysaccharide
Kukoamine B (KB), derived from the traditional Chinese herb cortex Lycii, exerts anti-inflammatory effects due to its potent affinity with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and CpG DNA; however, little is known regarding whether the in vivo administration of KB can effectively inhibit inflammation in septic mice.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
The present study thus aimed to investigate the inhibitory effects of KB on the inflammatory response in the livers of LPS-induced septic mice. KB treatment in the LPS-induced septic mice significantly decreased the plasma level of LPS. In addition, KB protected against liver injury, as confirmed by improved histology and decreased aminotransferase levels in the serum. Further experiments revealed that KB attenuated liver myeloperoxidase activity and reduced the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1. These effects were accompanied by decreases in the levels of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin-1β in the liver tissue. In parallel, the activity of nuclear factor-κ-gene binding (NF-κB) in the livers of LPS-induced septic mice was markedly inhibited with KB treatment.
CONCLUSIONS:
In combination, these results demonstrate that KB inhibits inflammation in septic mice by reducing the concentrations of plasma LPS, decreasing leukocyte sequestration and interfering with NF-κB activation, and, therefore, suppressing the pro-adhesive phenotype of endothelial cells.
