Study of the chemical constituents of the stems of Derris trifoliata Lour. (Leguminosae) collected in Singapore led to the isolation and identification of three known and two new rotenoid derivatives. The new derivatives, named derrisfolin A (1) and B (2), inhibited nitric oxide production in murine macrophage-like RAW 264.7 cells stimulated with interferon-γ and lipopolysaccharide.

Background: Plants still remain the prime source of drugs for the treatment of inflammation and can provide leads for the development of novel anti-inflammatory agents. Material and methods: An in vitro bioassay guide revealed that the 80% ethanol (EtOH) extract of the whole plant, Amomum tsao-ko (Zingiberaceae), displayed anti-inflammatory activity after assessing its effects on murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Result: Phytochemical study of the 80% EtOH extract of Amomum tsao-ko led to the isolation of eight compounds: 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzoic acid (1), meso-hannokinol (2), (+)-hannokinol (3), coumaric acid (4), 4-hydroxy-benzoic acid (5), (+)-epicatechin (6), (-)-catechin (7), and myrciaphenone A (8). The results indicated that two of the isolated components, (+)-epicatechin (6) and (-)-catechin (7), inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO) significantly in lipopolysaccharide treated RAW 264.7 cells. Conclusion: LPS-induced interleukin tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-), IL-1β and IL-10 production was also decreased in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, western blot analysis revealed that (+)-epicatechin (6) and (-)-catechin (7) reduced the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and inhibited nuclear localization of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB).

In traditional systems of medicine, the bark of Dolichandroneatrovirens has been used to treat various disorders. The main aim of this study was to determine the anti-inflammatory effect of D. atrovirens bark through the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells.For this purpose, preliminary phytochemical composition and in vitro antioxidant activities of various solvent extracts of D. atrovirens bark were evaluated to select the most effective extract.The methanol extract of D.atrovirens registered the highest amount of total phenolics (476.2 mg GAE/g) and flavonoid (129.0 mg RE/g)contents witha strong antioxidant activity as measured in DPPH (IC50 of 19.52 μg/mL) and ABTS (IC50of 10.82 μg/mL) scavenging activities.Hence, the methanol extract was selected for cell line study. Further, the methanol extract of D. atrovirens effectively inhibited the production of NO in RAW 264.7 cells induced by LPS (13.1 μM at the concentration of 80 μg/mL). It could be concluded that the presence of higher level of total phenolic components in the methanol extract of D. atrovirens bark might be responsible for reducing the NO level in cells.
