Abstract

The anti-inflammatory activity of the surfactin C derived from Bacillus subtilis isolate was investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 μg ml -1)-treated mouse RAW 264.7 cells. LPS increased mRNA transcription of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, interleukin (IL)-1β and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). However, surfactin C at 50 μg ml-1 inhibited the LPS-induced increase in the transcription of IL-1β and iNOS and nitric oxide (NO) production in a dose-dependent manner.
