Abstract

The article discusses anti inflammatory responses of Citrus sudachi on lipopolysaccharides induced inflammatory responses in macrophage-derived mouse cell lines. It mentions that polymethoxyflavones from the fruit has inhibitory effects on the nitric oxide production which acts by suppressing the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase. It analyzes Sudachitin as a more potent anti-inflammatory agent than nobiletin flavonoid.
