Title: Anti-inflammatory Flavan-3-ol-dihydroretrochalcones from Daemonorops draco.
Authors: Kuo PC, Hung HY, Hwang TL, Du WK, Ku HC, Lee EJ, Tai SH, Chen FA, Wu TS.
Abstract: Four A-type flavan-3-ol-dihydroretrochalcone dimers, dragonins A-D (1-4), were characterized from the traditional Chinese medicine Sanguis Draconis. The structures of 1-4 were elucidated by spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited significant inhibition of fMLP/CB-induced superoxide anion and elastase. The signaling pathways accounting for the inhibitory effects of compound 2 were also elucidated. These purified A-type flavan-3-ol-dihydroretrochalcones are new potential leads for the development of anti-inflammatory drugs.
