Abstract
Five dihydrobenzofuran neolignans, woorenosides I (1), II (2), III (3), IV (4), and V (5), isolated from Coptis japonica (Ranunculaceae), suppressed tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and nitric oxide (NuOmicron) production, as well as lymphocyte proliferation triggered by inflammatory signals such as various mitogens, in a dose-dependent manner. The results indicate that the woorenosides strongly inhibit the mitogenic response by activated macrophage and lymphocytes and suggest that these compounds may participate in regulating inflammatory processes.Entities:
