Arctigenin is a dibenzyl butyrolactone lignan agent with antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties. Studies describe arctigenin to potently block TNF- alpha production and NO secretion. MAP kinase studies show that arctigenin effectively inhibits the activity of MAP kinases and AP-1 activation through vigorous inhibition of MKK. Additional studies report that arctigenin acts as a potent inhibitor of PAC-1 activity. Arctigenin has also been shown to bind to kainic acid receptors and protect neurons from neurodegeneration induced by glutamate and inhibit HIV-1 integrase. Furthermore, this compound acts as an inhibitor of IkappaB phosphorylation. Arctigenin is an inhibitor of MEK-1 and Topo II. It exert its effects through multiple pathways, including the inhibition of tumor-promoting enzymes, the induction of apoptosis, and the interference with the cell cycle. Furthermore, arctigenin has demonstrated the ability to regulate the expression of several genes involved in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and inflammation.
