Four new compounds, suaedamas A-D (1-4), and seven known ones (5-11) were isolated from the aerial parts of Suaeda maritima. Their chemical structures were evaluated by the IR, HR-ESI-MS, 1D-, and 2D-NMR, experimental and calculated ECD spectra. Compounds 1-6 inhibited nitric oxide production in LPS activated RAW 264.7 cells with IC50 values ranging from 29.3 to 85.5 μM, compared to that of the positive control compound, dexamethasone, which showed IC50 value of 13.4 μM.
Keywords: Amaranthaceae; NO inhibitory activity; Polyacetylene; Suaeda maritime; Suaedama.
