Anti-inflammatory activity of highly oxygenated terpenoids from Achillea biebersteinii Afan
View through CrossRef
Abstract
In continuation of our chemical investigation on some medicinal plants of the genus Achillea, chromatographic investigation of the methylene chloride/methanol (1:1) extract of the air-dried aerial part of Achillea biebersteinii Afan. (family Asteraceae) afforded a new natural monoterpene (2), in addition to two known sesquiterpenes (3 and 4). Compound 1 was isolated as light needle crystals. Structures were established on the basis of MS and NMR spectroscopic (1H, 13C, 1H-1H correlation spectroscopy, heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence and heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation) data and in case of compound 1 were confirmed by X-ray analysis. All isolated compounds were examined for their anti-inflammatory activity to inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced NO production in RAW264.7 macrophage cells. Compounds 3 and 4 produced a promising anti-inflammatory effect (76% and 80% inhibition, respectively). However, compounds 1 and 2 produced moderate inhibition of NO release recording a 41% and 36% inhibition of NO production, respectively.

7 macrophage cells.
Compounds 3 and 4 produced a promising anti-inflammatory effect (76% and 80% inhibition, respectively).
However, compounds 1 and 2 produced moderate inhibition of NO release recording a 41% and 36% inhibition of NO production, respectively.
