Forsythoside B is a phenylethanol glycoside isolated from the leaves of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Forsythia suspensa. It has multiple biological activities and can be used to treat inflammatory diseases and promote blood circulation[1]. Forsythoside B can target pneumolysin to reduce the virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae[2]. Forsythoside B exhibits effective antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii[3].
In vitro, pretreatment of BV-2 cells with Forsythoside B (1, 2.5µM) for 3h significantly inhibited the LPS-induced increase in intracellular IL-6, TNF-α, iNOs, NO and IL-1β[4]. Pretreatment of RAW 264.7 macrophages with Forsythoside B (40, 80, 160μg/mL) for 1h significantly inhibited the LPS-induced increase in intracellular PGE2, COX-2, nitrite and iNOS[5].
In vivo, Forsythoside B (40mg/kg) was intravenously injected into rats with cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis, which reduced serum TNF-α, IL-6, HMGB1, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-1), and endotoxin levels, upregulated IL-10 levels, and reduced myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in the lungs, liver, and small intestine[6]. Forsythoside B (10, 40mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into mice with spinal cord injury (SCI), which significantly reduced the levels of inflammatory factors, inhibited glial scar formation, reduced neuronal death and tissue defects, and promoted motor recovery[7].

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | BV-2 cells |
Preparation Method | BV-2 cells seeded into 96-well plates were pretreated with 1μM and 2.5μM Forsythoside B or PBS for 3h. Then co-incubated with 1μg/mL LPS dissolved in DMEM for 24h. |
Reaction Conditions | 1, 2.5µM; 3h |
Applications | The LPS-induced enhancements of IL-6, TNF-α, iNOs, NO, and IL-1β in BV-2 cells were strongly suppressed by Forsythoside B pre-incubation. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Sprague-Dawley rats |
Preparation Method | Forty caecal ligation and puncture (CLP) rats were divided into four subgroups, with 10 rats in each group: (i) CLP (model group); (ii) Forsythoside B 40mg/kg group; (iii) Imipenem 20mg/kg group; (iv) Imipenem 20mg/kg+Forsythoside B 40mg/kg group. All rats received only two doses of Forsythiaside B, which were intravenously injected (i.v.) at 1h and 13h after CLP, and the small intestine, liver, and lung were collected for biochemical analysis at 20h after CLP. |
Dosage form | 40mg/kg; i.v. |
Forsythoside B can reduce serum TNF-α, IL-6, HMGB1, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-1) and endotoxin levels, while serum IL-10 levels are upregulated and lung, liver and small intestine myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels are decreased. | |
