Figure Lengend Snippet: Assessment of Anti-inflammatory Effects of Main Components of ESS in RAW 264.7 Macrophages. Chemical structures of the major components of ESS were created ( A ) Sargaquinoic acid, ( C ) Sargahydroquinoic acid, and ( E ) Sargachromanol using Chemsketch software. RAW 264.7 cells were pre-treated with ( B ) SQA, ( D ) SHQA, and ( F ) SCM at concentrations of 2.5 and 5 μg/ml, respectively, for 1 h and then exposed to LPS for 24 h. Cytotoxicity was assessed using the MTS assay, and anti-inflammatory activity was determined by measuring NO production. The data is presented as mean ± SEM and statistical analysis was conducted for each gene. Significant differences are denoted as follows: # p < 0.005 and ### p < 0.001 when compared to the untreated group, and * p < 0.005, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 when compared to the LPS-treated group.
Article Snippet: The chemical structures of all these molecules were drawn by using ACD/ChemSketch software (version 2023, https://www.acdlabs.com/resources/free-chemistry-software-apps/chemsketch-freeware/ ).
