Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic analysis including HRMS, NMR spectra and circular dichroism experiments. All the compounds were evaluated for their anti-neuroinflammatory effects on the lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced nitric oxide production in BV-2 murine microglial cells. Compound 2 exhibited the significant activity with its IC50 value of 11.9 ± 0.8 μM, respectively, compared to a positive control quercetin with its IC50 value of 16.0 ± 1.1 μM.
