Several isolated compounds from the wood part of Thujopsis dolabrata were evaluated for their inhibitory effects against antigen-induced mast cell degranulation and interleukin-4 (IL-4) secretion, as well as IL-4 mRNA and protein expression in immunoglobulin E (IgE)-sensitized RBL-2H3 cells. Among the five isolated compounds, (-)-elema-1,3,11(13)-trien-12-ol (1) and thujopsene (2) exhibited the potent inhibitory activity against mast cell degranulation measured by β-hexosaminidase release with IC values of 27.4 µM and 25.1 µM, respectively. These compounds also inhibited the release of IL-4 (IC values of 7.0, 6.7 µM, respectively), IL-4 mRNA expression (IC values of 16.5, 7.2 µM, respectively) and IL-4 protein expression (IC values of 17.0, 9.6 µM, respectively) in antigen-induced IgE-sensitized RBL-2H3 cells. These results suggested that (-)-elema-1,3,11(13)-trien-12-ol (1) and thujopsene (2) effectively inhibits mast cell degranulation as well as IL-4 production, suggesting that these compounds from Thujopsis dolabrata can be used as candidates for IgE-mediated allergic disorders.
