Oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol inhibit the N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine-induced neutrophil degranulation and chemotaxis via AKT, p38, and ERK1/2 MAP-Kinase inhibition.

Our data suggest that the anti-inflammatory properties of oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol are not only restricted to their ROS scavenging effect, but also involve the inhibition of two other major pro-inflammatory neutrophil functions.
