Anti-inflammatory activities of cucurbitacin E isolated from citrullus latus var. citroides: role of reactive nitrogen species and cyclooxygese enzyme inhibition

The in vivo and in vitro mechanistic anti-inflammatory actions of cucurbitacin E (CE) (Citrullus lanatus var. citroides) were examined. The results showed that LPS/INF-? increased NO production in RAW264.7 macrophages, whereas L-NAME and CE curtailed it. CE did not reveal any cytotoxicity on RAW264....
