Abstract

Several derivatives were synthesized from fructigenine A, which was isolated fromPenicillium fructigenum. The anti-inflammatory properties of fructigenine A was evaluatedin vivo with a 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced mouse ear edema model and a carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model. Results showed that the anti-in flammatory activity was significantly higher with fructigenine derivatives than with indomethacin, which was used as a standard. We concluded that fructigenine derivatives could exert an anti-inflammatory effect.
