Abstract

A number of oroxylin A analogs were prepared and evaluated for their inhibitory activities against iNOS-mediated nitric oxide (NO) production from LPS-stimulated BV2 cells. The analogs were synthesized from purchased 2′-hydroxy-4,5,6-trimethoxyacetophenone and aldehydes in 3 steps. Among the tested compounds, several analogs (3b, 3c, 3d, 3f) exhibited strong inhibitory activities. Especially, the analog with 4-nitrophenyl group (3b) showed stronger inhibitory activity (IC50=4.73μM) than that of wogonin (IC50=7.80μM).
