A new auronol, cudrauronol (1), was isolated from the roots of Cudrania cochinchinensis along with 10 known compounds, 1,3,5-trihydroxy-4-prenylxanthone (2), 1,3,7-trihydroxy-4-prenylxanthone (3), 3,4',5,7-tetrahydroxydihydroflavonol (4), kaempferol (5), 3,6-dihydroxy-1,5-dimethoxyxanthone (6), 2',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavanolol (7), 3,7-dihydroxy-1-methoxyxanthone (8), 1,3,5-trihydroxyxanthone (9), cudraflavone B (10), and 2'-oxyresveratrol (11). Compounds 1-8 were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Compounds 2-5 were more active than aminoguanidine, with IC(50) values of 8.8, 23.2, 27.1, and 11.9 μM, respectively.
