NF-κB DNA binding activity was performed as previously described using nuclear extracts of cells [54 (link)]. Compounds 16, 17 and 18 isolated from L. erythrocarpa were treated at a concentration of 40 μM, and cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions were obtained from an inflammatory reaction occurred cell using a nuclear extraction kit (Cayman, Ann Arbor, MI, USA). They were then analyzed at a wavelength of 450 nm using the NF-κB transcription factor assay kit (Cayman, Ann Arbor, MI, USA).
