Core Tip Therapeutics to treat ulcerative colitis (UC) must be effective and safe. The natural compound cedrol (CE) possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, its therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms in UC remain unclear. We demonstrated that CE ameliorated dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis in mice through multifaceted mechanisms: Attenuating inflammation; Promoting intestinal barrier repair; And restoring gut microbial homeostasis. Mechanistically, CE exerted its anti-inflammatory effects by functionally inhibiting the toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor 2 complex, thereby inhibiting the activation of proinflammatory signaling pathways. These findings highlighted the potential of CE as a promising therapeutic agent for UC.
