A series of analogues of deoxyandrographolide (1) transformed by Cunninghamella blakesleana AS 3.2004 were isolated and identified by spectral methods including 2D NMR. Among them, 3-oxo-17,19-dihydroxy-7,13-ent-labdadien-15,16-olide (9), 3-oxo-19-hydroxy-1,13-ent-labdadien-15,16-olide (16), 3-oxo-1β-hydroxy-14-deoxy-andrographolide (17) and 3-oxo-2β-hydroxy-14-deoxyandrographolide (18) are new compounds. And their structure-activity relationships (SAR) of inhibitory activity on LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells were also discussed.
