Abstract:
Six furanogermacrane sesquiterpenes, pseudoneolinderane ( 1 ), linderalactone ( 2 ), zeylanidine ( 3 ), zeylanicine ( 4 ), deacetylzeylanidine ( 5 ), and neolitrane ( 6 ), isolated from the stems of Neolitsea parvigemma , were tested for anti-inflammatory activities. Among them, 1 and 2 showed significant inhibitory effects on superoxide anion generation by human neutrophils in response to fMLP/CB. The IC50 of 1 and 2 were found to be 3.21 and 8.48µg/mL, respectively.Keywords: Neolitsea parvigemma; Pseudoneolinderane; Linderalactone; Neutrophil; Anti-inflammatory
