α-​Chaconine 

α-Chaconine inhibits the expressions of COX-2, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α at the transcriptional level. α-Chaconine inhibits the LPS-induced expressions of iNOS and COX-2 at the protein and mRNA levels and their promoter activities in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Anti-inflammatory effects^[1].

α-Chaconine attenuates the transcriptional activity of activator protein-1 (AP-1) by reducing the translocation and phosphorylation of c-Jun.α-Chaconine suppresses lipopolysaccharide-induced pro-inflammatory mediators via AP-1 inactivation in RAW 264.7 macrophages and protects mice from endotoxin shock.α-Chaconine also suppresses the phosphorylation of TGF-β-activated kinase-1 (TAK1), which lies upstream of MKK7/JNK signaling^[1].
