Cirsilineol

Cirsilineol, a natural flavone compound, selectively inhibits IFN-γ/STAT1/T-bet signaling in intestinal CD4⁺ T cells. Cirsilineol has potent immunosuppressive and anti-tumor properties. Cirsilineol significantly ameliorates trinitro-benzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced T-cell-mediated experimental colitis in mice^[1]. In Vitro: Cirsilineol (0.1-10 μM; 96 hours) inhibits single mixed lymphocyte reaction and Concanava A-induced T-cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Cirsilineol (10 μM) does not affect T lymphocyte's viability. The inhibition of cirsilineol (10 μM) on T-cell proliferation is not due to a cytotoxic activity^[1].
Cirsilineol (1-10 μM; pretreatment for 3 hours) completely inhibits IFN-γ-induced Tyr701 phosphorylation of STAT1 and JAK2 activation^[1].
In Vivo: cirsilineol (3, 10, and 30 mg/kg) significantly ameliorates TNBS-induced Th1-mediated colitis through inhibiting IFN-γ/STAT1/T-bet signaling in CD4⁺ T cells.
