摘要

To develop novel anti-inflammatory agents with improved pharmaceutical profiles, twenty-eight novel sesquistilbene indanone analogues were synthesized and evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity using RAW264.7 cells. Among these compounds, compound ilk was found to be one of the most potent analogues in inhibiting NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, it could also significantly suppress LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 expression and NO production through TLR4/JNK/NF-kappa B signaling pathway in a concentration dependent manner.
