Abstract

Recent studies have revealed that there is a close relationship between neuroinflammation and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and compounds with anti-neuroinflammatory effects are potentially useful for the treatment of AD. A phytochemical investigation to obtain new neuroinflammatory inhibitors resulted in the isolation of four new and three known limonoids from Swietenia mahagoni. The structures of these limonoids were established by NMR, MS, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data analysis. Compounds 1–3 feature complicated polycyclic caged structures of limonoid orthoester and represent new examples of phragmalin-type limonoids. All of the isolates showed anti-neuroinflammatory activities by inhibiting nitric oxide (NO) release in LPS-induced murine microglial BV-2 cells with compounds 1 and 3–6 having IC ₅₀ values of 26.8, 26.1, 26.0, 37.1, and 16.5 μM, respectively. The possible mechanism of NO inhibition of some bioactive compounds was also investigated using molecular docking, which revealed the interactions of bioactive compounds with the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein.
