Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Sep 1;16(17):4600-2. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.06.009. Epub 2006 Jun 19.

Abstract

A novel compound, rodgersinol (1), was isolated from the aerial parts of Rodgersia podophylla and its structure was elucidated with various spectroscopic methods. Rodgersinol (1) exhibited the significant inhibitory effects on iNOS and COX-2 expressions in LPS-activated macrophages.
