Title: Two neolignans from Perilla frutescens and their inhibition of nitric oxide synthase and tumor necrosis factor-alpha expression in murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7.

Authors: Ryu JH, Son HJ, Lee SH, Sohn DH.

Abstract: Two neolignans were isolated from leaves of Perilla frutescens (Labiatae) as inhibitors of nitric oxide syntheses (IC50 5.9 microM and 53.5 microM, respectively) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Their structures were identified as 1beta,2alpha,3beta,4alpha-1,2-dimethyl-3,4-bis-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-cyclobutane (magnosalin), and 1alpha,2beta,3beta,4alpha-1,2-dimethyl-3,4-bis-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-cyclobutane (andamanicin), and their activities were confirmed as resulted from the suppressed expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase enzyme and from the secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha from activated macrophages.
