We explored the effects of compound 33, a synthetic chalcone derivative with antioxidant activity, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Compound 33, dexamethasone or vehicle was administered intragastrically to mice 6 h before intratracheal instillation of LPS. After 24 h, the effects of compound 33 on alveolar structural damage were evaluated by assessing lung morphology and the wet/dry weight ratio. Protein and proinflammatory cytokine levels and superoxide dismutase activity were also examined in the cell free supernatant of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Additionally, we investigated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of compound 33 in vitro and its effects on the MAPK/NF-kappa B and Nrf2/HO-1 pathways. Pretreatment with compound 33 prevented LPS-induced structural damage, tissue edema, protein exudation, and overproduction of proinflammatory mediators. The effects of compound 33 were similar to or greater in magnitude than those of the positive control, dexamethasone. Moreover, compound 33 exerted anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in vitro by inhibiting the MAPK/NF-kappa B pathway and activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. Compound 33 may therefore be a promising candidate treatment for ALI.
