Abstract

Inhibition of the excessive NO production has been recognized as a potential means for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In order to discover more potent inhibitors and explore the preliminary structure activity relationship, a series of unique stereodimers of sinomenine analogues were designed and synthesized. Their inhibitory activity on NO production and cytotoxicity were evaluated using LPS-activated murine macrophages RAW264.7 assay and MTT method, respectively. Among these compounds, 1a, 2, 2a, 2b, and 4 showed potent inhibitory activity on NO production without obvious cytotoxicity. Furthermore, 2, 2a, and 2b significantly suppressed mRNA expression of iNOS. Interestingly, (S)-dimers displayed a better bioactivity than (R)-dimers. These compounds may sever as lead candidates in the development of novel therapeutic drugs for RA treatment.
