The structures and configuration of these compounds were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses. Inhibition of platelet activating factor (PAF)-induced aggregation of rabbit platelets were tested with neolignans 1-7. Although compound 6 was the most potent PAF-antagonist, compounds 3-5 showed some activity.

Benzofuran neolignans were found to be selective COX-2 inhibitors, whereas bicyclooctane neolignans inhibit selectively the PAF- action as well as COX-1 and 5-LOX. The neolignan 9-nor-7,8-dehydro-isolicarin B 15 and cinerin C 7 were found to be the most potent COX-2 inhibitor and PAF-antagonist, respectively. Nectamazin C 10 exhibited dual 5-LOX/COX-2 inhibition.

The structures and configuration of these compounds were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis. Cinerins A-D (1-4) were tested for their inhibition efficacy of platelet activating factor (PAF)- induced aggregation of rabbit platelets. Compound 3 was the most potent PAF antagonist. Compounds 1-5 were tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H(37)Rv strain) using the MABA method. Compound 5 induced 91.3% growth inhibition at 50 mu g mL(-1). Compounds 1-5 showed no significant inhibitory activity against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by the agar-well diffusion method.
