Columbin is an orally active diterpenoid furanolactone fromCalumbae radix, has anti-inflammatory and anti-trypanosomal effects. Columbin selectively inhibitsCOX-2(EC₅₀=53.1 μM) overCOX-1(EC₅₀=327 μM)^[1][2].

Treatment with columbin or l-NAME inhibits LPS/IFN-γ-induced NO production without affecting the viability of RAW264.7. Pre-treatment of stimulated cells with columbin does not inhibit the translocation of NF-κB to the nucleus in LPS-stimulated cells. COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory activities of columbin are 63.7±6.4% and 18.8±1.5% inhibition at 100μM, respectively. The interaction of columbin with Tyr385 and Arg120 signifies its higher activity in COX-2, as Tyr385 is reported to be involved in the abstraction of hydrogen from C-13 of arachidonate, and Arg120 is critical for high affinity arachidonate binding^[1].

Columbin inhibits oedema formation in mice paw. At doses of 300 mg/kg and 700 mg/kg, columbin inhibits inflammation from 0 to 5 h and the results are comparable to that of aspirin as a standard anti-inflammatory drug. The inhibitory effect of columbin on carrageenan induced paw oedema in mice may be due to the suppression of the release of mediators responsible for inflammation including prostaglandin^[1]. Columbin is poorly bioavailable (2.8% p.o. and 14% i.p.) in rats, but its transport is rapid across the Caco-2 cell monolayers, suggesting that extensive first-pass metabolism in the liver is the likely reason for its poor bioavailability^[2].
