A series of forty-five 1,5-diphenylpenta-2,4-dien-1-one analogues were synthesized and evaluated for their nitric oxide (NO) inhibition activity in IFN-γ/LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Compounds 3h, 7a, 7d and 7e exhibited comparable or significantly higher activity than the standard, curcumin (IC50...
