Cerevisterol Alleviates Inflammation via Suppression of MAPK/NF-κB/AP-1 and Activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling Cascade.

ABSTRACT: As part of our continuous effort to find potential anti-inflammatory agents from endophytic fungi, a Fusariumsolani strain, isolated from the plant Aponogetonundulatus Roxb., was investigated. Cerevisterol (CRVS) was identified from endophytic fungi, a Fusariumsolani strain, and moreover exhibited anti-inflammatory activity. However, the underlying mode of action remains poorly understood. The aim of this study is to reveal the potential mechanisms of CRVS against inflammation on a molecular level in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 peritoneal macrophage cells. CRVS was isolated from F.solani and characterized based on spectral data analysis. The MTT assay was performed to measure cell viability in CRVS-treated macrophages. Anti-
