Twenty compounds, including 14 new α-acid derivatives, a new chromone, and five known compounds, were identified from the pistillate inflorescence of Humulus lupulus (hops), and their structures were elucidated via physical data analysis. The absolute configurations of new α-acid derivatives 1-11b were determined by comparing their computed and experimental electronic circular dichroism spectra using TDDFT and NMR spectroscopic data. A putative biosynthetic pathway for the identified components was deduced. Their antineuroinflammatory effects were assayed systematically, and their structure-activity relationships are discussed briefly. Among the identified compounds, compound 14 displayed moderate inhibitory effects against nitric oxide production with an IC50 value of 7.92 μM.
