Notes: CDDO is a synthetic oleanane triterpenoid that blocks the cellular synthesis of inducible nitric oxide synthase and inducible COX-2 in INF-γ-activated mouse macrophages with an IC50 value of 0.4 nM.{6806} By suppressing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) formation, it promotes the cellular control of ROS/RNS levels that would lead to DNA damage associated with tumorigenesis.{21759} In various cancer cell lines, CDDO has been shown to specifically inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis.{21759} Mechanism studies revealed that CDDO is a ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, and also that it induces genes regulated by Nrf2, including heme oxygenase-1 and eotaxin-1, which play a role in antioxidant response element signaling activity.{21764,21756,21754}
