Abstract: To investigate the chemical constituents and anti-neuroinflammatory activity from the bark of Bridelia retusa,we isolated and identified eleven compounds from the bark of B.retusa through various column chromatography.Based on the NMR and MS spectra,their structures were identified as gallic acid (1),friedelin (2),ferulic acid heptacosyl ester (3),sinapaldehyde (4),syringaldehyde (5),syringaresinol (6),psoralen (7),bakuchiol (8),pentacosanoic acid (9),telfairic acid (10),1-Linoleoylglycerol (11).Compounds 3-11 were firstly isolated from the genus Bridelia.All the isolated compounds 1-11 were evaluated for their inhibition of NO production in LPS-induced BV-2 cells.Among of them,compounds 4,5,10 and 11 exhibited potent inhibition with IC50 values of 12.57,8.41,5.86 and 5.86 μM,respectively.

Key words: Bridelia retusa, friedelin, phenols, organic acid, anti-inflammatory
