Figure 2

UPLC-Q/TOF-MS and bioactivity analysis of MC. (a and b) Base peak intensity (BPI) chromatograms of MC in the ESI positive and negative, respectively. (c) Bioactivity chromatograms obtained via the dual-luciferase reporter assay for NF-κB inhibition activation. (d) Chemical structures of the bioactive compounds in MC. Values are presented as the mean ± SEM; n=5 per group. P< 0.001 compared to the control group; P< 0.05, P< 0.01, P< 0.001 compared to the model group.
