Sesquiterpenes from Vladimiria souliei and their inhibitory effects on NO production.

Abstract:

:As a part of our ongoing search for plant-derived compounds that inhibit nitric oxide production, the methanol extract of the roots of Vladimiria souliei was found to show significant inhibitory effects on INF-γ-induced nitric oxide production in murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells. Bioactivity-guided isolation of the extract yielded two most active sesquiterpenes, including a new compound, named souliene A (1) and alismol (2). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods (IR, ESIMS, HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR). Two isolates showed promising inhibitory effects on INF-γ-induced nitric oxide production in murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells.
