Abstract
Two new sesquiterpenes (1–2) and six known analogues (3–8) were isolated from the branches and leaves of Xylopia vielana Pierre. The structures of the new compounds were identified by analyzing 1 D and 2 D NMR data and HRESIMS data, combined with induced and calculated circular dichroism experiments. In addition, compounds 1–4, 7 and 8 showed notable nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory effects (IC50 < 10 μM) on the model of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 macrophages.
