Abstract

In order to make more rational use of Flemingia Philippinensis, a systematic separation from the roots of F. philippinensis was performed in the current study. The investigation of chemical constituents resulted in the isolation of a rare prenylated isoflavone-quinone, fleminquinone A (1), together with four known analogues (2–5). Their structures were established by extensive physical and spectroscopic data analysis. Anti-inflammatory activities of the isolated compounds were evaluated in lipopolysaccharide induced mouse mononuclear macrophage leukemia cells RAW 264.7 model. Compound 1 exhibited significant inhibitory effects on LPS-induced NO production and COX-2. Compound 1 also significantly affected the levels of inflammatory cytokines.
