(NO) inhibition activity on RAW 264.7 cells. Among these compounds, chalcones bearing
furanyl group showed remarkable anti-inflammatory activity. Both compounds 2d and 2j
were identified as the most potent NO inhibitor on IFN-γ/LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells. In
order to examine the structure–activity relationship, a 3D QSAR analysis was carried out by
comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) method on the selected chalcones. Partial …
