Abstract: Aim to provide experimental data for the research and development of flavonoids as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS),the substituent effects on the anti-inflammatory effect of five flavonoids against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) have been studied. Flavone (FLA),5,7-dihydroxyflavone (DFL),5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone (TFL),apigenin-7-glucoside (APG) and linarin (LIN) were carried out to investigate for anti-inflammatory effects against LPS-induced NO. TFL significantly inhibited generation of NO on LPS stimulated RAW264.7 cells. The 4'-OH was essential for the anti-inflammatory effect of TFL against LPS-induced NO.

Key words: flavonoids; 4'-Trihydroxyflavone; macrophage; NO
