Abstract

Sulfuretin is one of major constituents of Rhus verniciflua that exerts anti-inflammatory activities. Some of aurones were synthesized as sulfuretin derivatives and evaluated for their abilities to inhibit NO and PGE 2 production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells in order to reveal the relationship. Of the aurones synthesized in the present study, 2h and 2i, which possess C-6 hydroxyl group in A-ring and methoxy substituents in B-ring, more potently inhibited NO and PGE 2 production and were less cytotoxic than sulfuretin.
