Denudatin A and B, denudadione B, fargesone A and machilin G were isolated from Magnolia denudata. These compounds showed inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) production in the lipopolysaccharide plus interferon-gamma activated-murine macrophage cell line, J774.1. Some but not all of the inhibition of NO production by machilin G, and denudatin A and B was apparently through the decreased exp...
