NOS2 and inflammatory bowel disease: Cycloprodigiosin also stimulates nitric oxide production during hepatic injury, improving cell status by regulating the expression of NF-κB-dependent genes, such as inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) [72], Considering that immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroids and mesalazine can prevent the activation of NF-kappaB, both the suppression of NF-κB and increased NO production have been suggested as an anti-inflammatory strategy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), so that administration of cycloprodigiosine may limit chronic inflammation [73].
