Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is an inhibitor of NF-κB activation [1].
CAPE derives from honeybee propolis and has several biological activities. It is found to be an inhibitor of NF-κB activation. In U937 cells, CAPE inhibits the TNF-dependent activation of NF-κB dose-dependently. The maximum effect occurs at dose of 25μg/ml. CAPE also inhibits NF-κB activation induced by phorbol ester, ceramide, okadaic acid and hydrogen peroxide. It is reported that CAPE prevents NF-κB from binding to DNA without affecting other transcription factors. CAPE also has angiogenesis efficacy. It shows inhibition effect on the formation of capillary-like tubes. Besides, it reduces the production of VEGF both in CT26 cell culture and in animal model. In addition, CAPE effectively prevents CT26 cells from secreting MMP-2 and MMP-9 [1, 2].
