Dehydroandrographolide Alleviates Oxidative Stress, Inflammatory Response, and Pyroptosis in DSS-Induced Colitis Mice by Modulating Nrf2 Signaling Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Dehydroandrographolide (DA), a bioactive diterpenoid from Andrographis paniculata with diverse biological activity, was investigated for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced murine colitis. In vitro, DA inhibited the inflammatory response by modulating extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (Erk), c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (Jnk), p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (P38), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) p65 activation, and downregulated interleukin-6 (il-6) and interleukin-1β (il-1β) mRNA. It also had antioxidant effects by upregulating Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-Related Factor 2 (Nrf2), NAD(P)H quinone dehydro
