Cafestol
Cafestol is a bioactive diterpene that inhibits ERK and NF-κB signaling, thereby suppressing LPS-induced COX-2 expression and PGE2 production in RAW264.7 macrophages. Its anti-inflammatory activity makes it a useful research tool for studying pathways involved in inflammation, both in vitro and in animal models.
