Octyl gallate and heptyl gallate reduced COX-2 in endometriosis cells by regulating the NFkB pathway, with octyl gallate showing stronger binding affinity to NFkB.

This in vitro study investigated whether heptyl gallate and octyl gallate modulate IL-1β and COX-2–related proinflammatory regulation in cultured endometriosis cells, using 48 h treatment at 51.2 or 102.4 μg/mL followed by LPS (10 ng/mL) induction for 24 h, with ELISA used to assess inflammation. It compared a positive LPS-induced control and a negative non-LPS control, and also performed in silico docking to evaluate binding activity of NF-κB target protein. The authors report that docking showed more stable affinity and stronger binding for octyl gallate (vs heptyl gallate and gallic acid) at the NF-κB active site, and they conclude that both gallates reduce COX-2 via an NF-κB pathway, though the abstract does not specify the magnitude of cytokine/protein changes or any experimental limitations. This paper is centrally about endometriosis—specifically, in vitro testing of heptyl and octyl gallate on IL-1β and COX-2 inflammation signaling in endometriosis cell culture with NF-κB in silico docking.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of octyl gallate and heptyl gallate toward the regulation of interleukin-1β and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 proinflammatory factor on endometriosis cell culture and analyze its activity toward nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) target protein through in silico docking technique. Methods: In vitro study was performed on endometriosis cells cultured treated with two dosages each of heptyl and octyl gallate (51.2 μg/mL and 102.4 μg/mL) for 48 h, then followed by 10 ng/mL lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induction for 24 h. The positive control group was treated by LPS induced and the negative control was treated without LPS. Inflammation regulation was evaluated with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique and in silico docking analyzed using bioinformatics technique. Results: Molecular docking analysis with gallic acid and their derivatives showed that more stable affinity and stronger binding found on octyl gallate than heptyl gallate and gallic acid at the active site of NFkB. Conclusions: Based on this study results, octyl gallate and heptyl gallate were proven to be able to reduce COX-2 proinflammatory factor through NFkB pathway as an inflammatory regulator; thus, it has the potential to be developed as a therapy for endometriosis.
