摘要
Nine anthocyanins (dFont">1-dFont">9) from the edible fruits of Eugenia brasiliensis were identified by HPLC-PDA and LC-MS, and seven of these are described for the first time in this Brazilian fruit. Two of the major anthocyanins, delphinidin (dFont">8) and cyanidin (dFont">9), were studied for their inhibitory activity against chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8) production before and after cigarette smoke extract (CSE) treatment of cells. In non-treated cells the amount of IL-8 was unchanged following treatment with cyanidin and delphinidin in concentrations 0.1-10 渭M. Both delphinidin (dFont">8) and cyanidin (dFont">9) decreased the production of IL-8 in treated cells, at 1 and 10 渭M, respectively. Delphinidin (dFont">8) demonstrated IL-8 inhibition in the CSE treated cells in a dose-dependent manner.
