Abstract

The bioassay guided isolation of new anti-inflammatory metabolites from the Australian Indigenous plant Angophora costata, led to the discovery of three new 4-phenylcoumarins, costatamins A – C (1–3). The structures were determined by detailed spectroscopic analysis. Costatamins A – C were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on (a) NO production and (b) downregulation of TNF-α in RAW 264.7 macrophages, displaying an inhibitory range of 20–30 μg/mL for both the inflammatory markers.
