  • Title: Pseudoguaianolides and guaianolides from Inula hupehensis as potential anti-inflammatory agents.
    Author: Qin JJ, Zhu JX, Zeng Q, Cheng XR, Zhu Y, Zhang SD, Shan L, Jin HZ, Zhang WD.
    Journal: J Nat Prod; 2011 Sep 23; 74(9):1881-7. PubMed ID: 21894898.
    Abstract:
    Eight new pseudoguaianolides (1-8), two new guaianolides (9 and 10), and 14 known sesquiterpenes were isolated from the aerial parts of Inula hupehensis. The structures were elucidated using spectroscopic methods and circular dichroism analysis. All compounds were tested for inhibitory activities against LPS-induced nitric oxide production in RAW264.7 macrophages. Compounds 13 and 22 were found to inhibit nitric oxide production potently, with IC50 values of 0.9 and 0.6 μM, respectively. Preliminary structure-activity relationships for these compounds are proposed.
