Abstract
Three previously undescribed sesquiterpenes, along with three known ones were isolated from the seeds of Cichorium glandulosum. The structures of them were elucidated by the analysis of spectroscopic data. The isolated compounds were tested for their neuroprotective effects against LPS-induced neuroinflammation in BV-2 cells. Santamarine (5) exhibited inhibitory activity on LPS-induced NO production in BV-2 cells with IC50 of 0.89 ± 0.12 μM. The mechanism of the compound 5 was related to activating the NF-κB, MAPK and cGAS/STING pathways.

2. Development of standardization method for bioactive plant extracts and natural products
3. Identification of bioactivity in plant extracts
4. Identification of targets and mechanism of activity of plant extracts
5. Production and genomic characterization of medicinal plants biomass
6. Chemistry and biochemistry of bioactive natural products of plant origin
7. Critical reviews of the historical, clinical and legal status of medicinal plants, and accounts on topical issues.
