Bioorg Med Chem. 2011 Apr 1;19(7):2450-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2011.02.002. Epub 2011 Feb 16.

Abstract

A series of rabdokunmin C analogues were prepared and their inhibitory effect on NF-κB activation was assayed. One of them, 18-acetyl-12-deoxy-11,12-dehydrorabdokunmin C (16) was found to be a promising candidate for an anti-inflammatory agent.
