Abstract:
Methods for modulating the level of a chemokine in a cell by administering to a cell an effective amount of a depside or an anthocyanin are provided. More particularly, a method for modulating the level of a chemokine in a cell by administering to a cell an effective amount of a depside having the structure of formula (IV): Formula (IV) wherein R is selected from H or CHor an anthocyanin selected from cyanidin 3-glucoside, delphinidin 3-glucoside, or combinations thereof, or an enantiomer, optical isomer, diastereomer, N-oxide, crystalline form, hydrate, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is provided. Also provided are compounds according to Formulas I-IV, pharmaceutical compositions, unit dosage forms, and food or feed supplements containing such compounds. Methods for treating a condition in a mammal and for treating or ameliorating a condition, such as for example, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by administering an effective amount of a composition containing such compounds are also provided. Further provided is an extract obtained from the fruit of containing at least one compound of the present invention in substantially pure form.
