TL;DR: Sixteen new 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone dimers, including four pairs of enantiomers, along with eight optically pure analogues, were isolated from the resinous wood of Aquilaria sinensis and exhibited significant inhibition of nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.

TL;DR: Five new 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone derivatives (1-5), along with eleven known compounds (6-16) were isolated from Chinese agarwood and exhibited significant inhibition of nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells.

TL;DR: Seven new dimeric furanocoumarins, dahuribiethrins A-G (1-7), were isolated from the roots of Angelica dahURica and exhibited significant inhibition of nitric oxide production in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.

TL;DR: Eight new chrysogenolides and seven known 3,5-dimethylorsellinic acid derived meroterpenoids were isolated from the solid substrate fermentation cultures of a Huperzia serrata endophytic fungus and showed inhibition of nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW 264.

TL;DR: Twenty new polyoxygenated labdane diterpenoids were isolated from the aerial parts of Leonurus macranthus and showed inhibition of nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-activated BV-2 microglial cells with IC50 values of 10.0-63.7 μM.
