Here, new flavonoid glycoside, kaempferol 3-O-α-¬[(6-P coumaroyl galactopyranosyl-O-β- (1→4)-O-α-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)]-O-α-rhamnopyranoside 1, in addition to five known flavonoid glycosides (2-6) kaempferol 3-O-[α- ¬rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)-O]-β- galactopyranoside (kaempferol 3-O-β-isorhamninoside) 2, quercetin 3-O- [(2,3,4-triacetyl-α-rhamnopyranosyl)-(1→6)-β-galactopyranoside 3, quercetin 3-O-[(2,4-diacetyl-α-rhamnopyranosyl)-(1→6)]-3,4-diacetyl-β- galactopyranoside 4, quercetin 3-O-[(2,4-diacetyl-α-rhamnopyranosyl)- (1→6)]-2,4-diacetyl-β-galactopyranoside 5, quercetin 3-O-[(2,3,4-triacetyl- α-rhamnopyranosyl)-(1→6)-3-acetyl-β-galactopyranoside 6 were isolated from bell pepper (Capsicum annum L.) fruits and tested for both antiinflammatory activity through cytokine production (TNF-α and IL-1β) and antioxidant activity through scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Compounds 1-3 significantly suppressed production of TNF-α \/ IL-1β in cultured THP-1 cells previously costimulated by LPS in a dose-dependent manner (10.2\/49.1, 28.1\/55.7, and 35.2\/57.5 μM respectively) whereas compounds 4-6 have relatively weaker inhibitory activity. (45.3\/73.5, 48.2\/65.6, and 42.2\/67.4 μM respectively). All compounds 1-6 showed no cytotoxic activity against the growth of THP-1where the percentage of cell viability was (127.4, 108.5, 105.4, 103.9, 103.4, and 104.2 μM respectively). All isolated compounds exhibited higher radical scavenging activity than ascorbic acid in (DPPH) assay. These results indicated that bell pepper fruits could be an effective candidate for ameliorating inflammatory-associated complications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ahmed Ezzaldean Abdellah Allam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1636481825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636481821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliva Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.09d","brand":"Ahmed Ezzaldean Abdellah Allam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48449919385855,"sku":"9781636481821","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_884fbc95-c7df-42d8-8ba3-ff72eac8ffab.jpg?v=1777265477","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flavonoids-of-pepper-as-cytokines-ahmed-ezzaldean-abdellah-allam-9781636481821","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
