Mogroside III-E is a cucurbitane-type triterpenoid glycoside extracted from Siraitia grosvenorii, and it is an orally active TLR4 inhibitor. Mogroside III-E downregulates the expression of TLR4 and MyD88, and blocks the phosphorylation of downstream ERK, JNK and p38 MAPK molecules; meanwhile, it inhibits TGF-β- or LPS-mediated transdifferentiation of primary pulmonary fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, reduces the content of fibrosis markers such as hydroxyproline, suppresses the pro-fibrotic TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway, and downregulates the levels of inflammatory factors MPO and IL-1β. Mogroside III-E alleviates Bleomycin (HY-108345)-induced pulmonary collagen deposition and inflammatory infiltration in mice. Mogroside III-E can be used in studies related to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis[1][2].
