(Lauraceae) on immunoglobulin E-mediated type I hypersensitivity in vitro. PG - 550-6 LID - S0378-8741(13)00504-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jep.2013.07.015 [doi] AB - ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Laurus nobilis L. (Lauraceae) has been used for folk medicines in the Mediterranean area and Europe to treat various disorders including skin inflammation (dermatitis) and asthma. AIM OF THE STUDY: Our aim was to investigate the scientific evaluation of the compounds from Laurus nobilis L. on immuniglobulin E (IgE)-mediated type I hypersensitivity responses in vitro such as atopic dermatitis and asthma. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Seven compounds were isolated and examined for the mast cell stabilizing effect on IgE-sensitized RBL-2H3 mast cells by measuring the beta-hexosaminidase activity. In addition, the effects on interleukin (IL)-4 production and IL-5-dependent Y16 early B cell proliferation were investigated as well as their cytotoxic effects on RBL-2H3 cells. RESULTS: Among the seven isolated compounds, magnolialide attenuated the release of beta-hexosaminidase from RBL-2H3 cells with an IC50 value of 20.2 muM, while the other compounds revealed no significant effects at concentrations tested. Furthermore, magnolialide significantly inhibited the IL-4 release with an IC50 value of 18.1 muM and IL-4 mRNA expression with an IC50 value of 15.7 muM in IgE-sensitized RBL-2H3 cells. In addition, the inhibition of IL-5-dependent proliferation of early B cells (Y16 cells) by magnolialide was demonstrated with an IC50 value of 18.4 muM. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the magnolialide might be a candidate for the treatment of IgE-mediated hypersensitivity responses such as atopic dermatitis and asthma by inhibiting mast cell degranulation, the IL-4 production, and IL-5-dependent early B cell proliferation, key factors in the development and amplification of type I hypersensitivity reactions.
