N2 - Novel oleanane triterpenoids with modified rings A and C were designed and synthesized. Among them, methyl 2-carboxy-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9-dien-28-oate showed similar high inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.8 nM) to 2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9-dien-28-oic acid (CDDO), which we have synthesized previously, against production of nitric oxide induced by interferon-γ in mouse macrophages.
