ABSTRACT
Two known diarylheptanoids, oregonin (1), (5S)-1,7-bis-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-heptane-3-one-5-O-beta-D-xylopyranosi de and hirsutanonol (2), (5S)-1,7-bis-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5-hydroxyheptane-3-one isolated from the bark of Alnus hirsuta var. sibirica, showed significant inhibitory effects on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in immortalized human breast epithelial MCF10A cells.
