Moracin M is a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor (PDE4D2: IC50 = 2.9μM; PDE4B2: IC50 = 4.5μM; PDE5A1: IC50 > 40μM; PDE9A2: IC50 > 100μM) [1]. Moracin M inhibits inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-κB and MAPK, reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF-α, IL-6, and NO) [2-3]. Moracin M is often used in inflammation research [4].
In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), Moracin M (6.25-25µg/mL;24h) enhances HUVEC tube formation in a dose-dependent manner [5]. In C2C12 cells, Moracin M (25 μM; 48 h) treatment significantly increased myoblast proliferation [6].
In acute lung injury mice model, Moracin M (20mg/kg, 60mg/kg; ig; single administration) inhibits airway inflammation [7]. In LPS-induced mouse airway inflammation model, Moracin M (30mg/kg; po; single administration) effectively reduces airway inflammation in vivo [8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) |
Preparation Method | The cell migration capacity was evaluated using a scratch wound-healing assay. A synthetic wound was generated in an 80–90% confluent monolayer of HUVECs cultured in a 24-well plate, employing a 200µL pipette tip. The impact of co-culturing HUVECs with Moracin M at concentrations of 6.25, 12.5, and 25µg/mL on cell migration was observed using microscopy at the 0 and 24-hour marks. |
Reaction Conditions | 6.25-25µg/mL;24h |
Applications | Moracin M enhances HUVEC tube formation in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Acute lung injury mice model |
Preparation Method | To establish an animal model of acute lung injury (ALI), a modified ALI model was used. Mice were divided into five groups (n = 13): control, LPS, LPS/Moracin M (20mg/kg and 60mg/kg), and LPS/dexamethasone (30mg/kg). The test compound, containing a reference drug, was dissolved in 0.3% sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) solution and administered orally. The control and LPS groups were also given an equal volume of CMC solution. One hour later, LPS (2mg/kg in PBS) was administered intranasally to the mice (10μL/mouse, five times, for a total of 50μL) to induce bronchitis. Sixteen hours after LPS treatment, the mice (n = 7) were sacrificed, and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid was collected via endotracheal cannulation. 700μL of PBS was then infused three times. Approximately 2,000μL of BAL fluid was collected per mouse. The total number of cells in BAL fluid was counted using a hemocytometer, and differential cell counts were performed using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS). For histological and biochemical analyses, mice (n = 3) were sacrificed, and lung tissue was excised. Histological specimens were fixed and prepared for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. |
