Chemical constituents from Bletilla striata and their NO production suppression in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells

AbstractA novel glucoside bletilloside A (1) was isolated from the tubers of Bletilla striata, together with seven known compounds (2–8). Their structures were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses. All compounds were evaluated for the inhibition on NO production effects in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells, while militarine (4) and dactylorhin A (5) exhibited moderate inhibitory effects.
