Mechanistically, PYC inhibits NF-B activation, leading to decreased transcription of pro-inflammatory mediators such as TNF-, ICAM-1, and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, thereby modulating cytokine-driven inflammatory responses and endothelial activation ( Network pharmacology and protein-protein interaction analyses have identified IL-6, TNF, IL-1B, prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2, and NF-B1 as core molecular targets of PYC, with Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment highlighting the IL-17 and TNF signaling pathways as key anti-inflammatory mechanisms
These are several examples of antioxidants that inhibit oxidation, or reactions promoted by oxygen, peroxide and/or free radicals
Moreover, culture growth was slowed at 150 g/ml 5-FOA (Figure S2C)
