Abstract: Stilbenoids represent a large group of bioactive compounds, which occur in food and medicinal plants. Twenty-five stilbenoids were screened in vitro for their ability to inhibit COX-1, COX-2 and 5-LOX. Piceatannol and pinostilbene showed activity comparable to the zileuton and ibuprofen, respectively. The anti-inflammatory potential of stilbenoids was further evaluated using THP-1 human monocytic leukemia cell line. Tests of the cytotoxicity on the THP-1 and HCT116 cell lines showed very low toxic effects. The tested stilbenoids were evaluated for their ability to attenuate the LPS-stimulated activation of NF-κB/AP-1. Most of the tested substances reduced the activity of NF-κB/AP-1 and later attenuated the expression of TNF-α. The effects of selected stilbenoids were further investigated on inflammatory signaling pathways. Non-prenylated stilbenoids regulated attenuation of NF-ĸB/AP-1 aktivity upstream by inhibiting the phosphorylation of MAPKs. A docking study used to in silico analyze the tested compounds confirmed their interaction with NF-ĸB, COX-2 and 5-LOX.
