The compound isolated from Marine Red alga Laurencia undulate; Floridoside was characterized for its ability in suppressing LPS mediated activation of BV-2 cells. Floridoside significantly inhibited the productions of NO and PGE2 by inhibiting iNOS and COX-2 at their protein and gene levels. The responsible molecular signaling for these inhibitory actions was found to be through suppression of the phosphorylation of MAPK molecules. These results indicate that Floridoside inhibits LPS-induced inflammatory response via blocking of MAPK signaling pathway in BV-2 cells, thus demonstrated its in vitro anti-inflammatory potential. These results suggest that Floridoside has the potential to be further developed as therapeutic against neuro-inflammation.
