protein (BMP) and activation of p38 MAPK signaling pathways. Compounds 14 and 21 also inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastdifferentiation of RAW264 cells. These results indicated that novel 5,6-dehydrokawain analogs not only increase osteogenic activity but also inhibitosteoclastdifferentiation, and could be potential lead compounds for the development of anti-osteoporosis agents.
Hispidine was initially discovered from Ficus Hispida for cardiovascular protection. In this paper, hispidine derivatives, which contain a novel resveratrol-like scaffold, have been designed, synthesized, and assayed as agents against lipid accumulations in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. Six hispidine derivatives have the activity of reducing TG in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in dosage-dependent manner. The most active

development of Haemonchuscontortus in an in vitro-bioassay. In the present study, we synthesized two kavalactones, desmethoxyyangonin and yangonin, as well as 17 analogues thereof, and evaluated their anthelmintic activities using the same bioassay as employed previously. Structure activity relationship (SAR) studies showed that a 4-substituent on the pendant aryl ring was required for activity. In particular
