18583119 Kulkarni-Almeida A, Suthar A, Goswami H, Vishwakarma R, Chauhan VS, Balakrishnan A, Sharma S: Novel leads from Heliotropium ovalifolium, 4,7,8-trimethoxy-naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid and 6-hydroxy-5,7-dimethoxy-naphthalene-2-carbaldehyde show specific IL-6 inhibitory activity in THP-1 cells and primary human monocytes. Phytomedicine. 2008 Dec;15(12):1079-86. Epub 2008 Jun 25.

Bioassay guided fractionation identified two compounds 4,7,8-trimethoxy-naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid and 6-hydroxy-5,7-dimethoxy-naphthalene-2-carbaldehyde with an IC (50) of 2.4 and 2.0 microM for IL-6 inhibition and an IC (50) of 15.6 and 7.0 microM for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibition in THP-1 cells.
