Protective effects of E3330, a novel quinone derivative, on galactosamine/tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced hepatitis in mice.

Abstract:

:Oral pretreatment with E3330, a novel quinone derivative, attenuated liver injury induced with tumor necrosis factor-alpha in galactosamine-sensitized mice. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha is known to induce inflammatory mediators such as leukotrienes and prostanoids. An in vitro study showed that E3330 inhibited the generation of leukotriene B4 and thromboxane B2, but enhanced prostaglandin E2 generation from rat peritoneal exudate cells stimulated with the Ca(2+)-ionophore, A23187. These findings suggest that the protective effect of E3330 on galactosamine/tumor necrosis factor-alpha hepatitis is due at least in part to its inhibition of the generation of leukotrienes. The inhibition of thromboxane B2 generation or the enhancement of prostaglandin E2 generation by E3330 may also contribute to its hepatoprotective effect.
