Abstract
We have previously reported that persenone A, isolated from avocado fruit, is an effective inhibitor of both nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide (O2−) generation in cell culture systems. In this study, we have prepared four persenone A-related compounds and examined their inhibition of NO and O2− generation from inflammatory leukocytes. Some structural importance in persenone A to attenuate free radical generation is discussed.
