In Vitro Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthesis Inhibitors from Alismatis Rhizoma

Bioassay-guided fractionation of an aqueous extract of Alismatis Rhizoma has furnished two inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibitory compounds, alismol (1) and alisol B monoacetate (2), together with an inactive triterpene, alisol C monoacetate (3). Compounds 1 and 2 inhibited nitric oxide (...

Zusammenfassung:Bioassay-guided fractionation of an aqueous extract of Alismatis Rhizoma has furnished two inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibitory compounds, alismol (1) and alisol B monoacetate (2), together with an inactive triterpene, alisol C monoacetate (3). Compounds 1 and 2 inhibited nitric oxide (NO) synthesis in a dose-dependent manner in murine macrophage-like RAW 264.7 cells stimulated with interferon-γ (IFN-γ) plus lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The inhibitory effects of 1 and 2 on NO synthesis were partly due to suppression of iNOS mRNA expression as determined by Northern blotting.
