Abstract:
Ten undescribed noreudesmane-type sesquiterpenoids, including eight 12,13-dinoreudesmanes and a pair of 11,12,13-trinoreudesmane epimers were isolated from the whole plant of Artemisia hedinii. Their structures were elucidated by extensive analysis of spectroscopic data, including MS, 1D and 2D NMR, and their absolute configurations were confirmed by X-ray diffraction experiments and DFT calculations. Compounds 1-5, 7-10 were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activities in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine macrophages RAW264.7 cells, and all of them could significantly inhibit the LPS induced CCL2 mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner.

Histamine binds to specific receptor sites, known as H1 receptors, on tissue cells, triggering inflammation and swelling. Antihistamines combat these effects by competing with histamine for these receptor sites. By...
Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
