Anhydronotoptol (4-{[(2E,5E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,5,7-trien-1-yl]oxy}-7H-furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one), a natural compound extracted from the umbelliferae plant Qiangwu, is a potent inhibitor of nitric oxide production, inhibiting LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells with an IC50 value of 36.6 μM.

In vitro ECF suppressed the differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells into Th1. Furthermore ECF intensely blocked the transcriptional expression in interferon-γ-related signaling including IFN-γ T-bet STAT1 and STAT4.?

AR-C102222 is a potent, selective iNOS inhibitor with IC50 of 35 nM, dislapys 3,000-fold and 20-fold selectivity over eNOS and nNOS respectively; reduces inflammation produced by the application of arachidonic acid to the ear, attenuates FCA-induced mechanical hyperalgesia, and attenuates acetic acid-induced writhing in mice.Rheumatoid ArthritisDiscontinued
