4-Methoxylonchocarpin is an orally active anti-inflammatory agent. 4-methoxylonchocarpin inhibits the binding of LPS to Toll-like Receptor (TLR) TLR4 to inhibit NF-κB activation and TNF Receptor and IL-6 expression. 4-Methoxylonchocarpin also inhibits the phosphorylation of TGF-beta activated kinase 1 and TNBS-induced expression of IL-1β, IL-17A, and TNF. 4-methoxylonchocarpin can improve 2,4, 6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis mouse model[1].

ChEBI: 4-Methoxylonchocarpin is a member of chalcones.
