In order to develop an anti-sepsis agent, a series of cyclohexene derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their biological activities. Through modification of the sulfonamide spacer moiety depicted by formula II, it was found that the benzylsulfone derivative 10a had potent inhibitory activity against the production of NO. Further modifications of the phenyl ring, ester moiety, and benzyl position of benzylsulfone derivatives III were carried out. Among these compounds, (R)-(+)-10a and (6R, 1S)-(+)-22a showed strong inhibitory activity not only against NO production but also against inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in vitro. Furthermore, (R)-(+)-10a and (6R, 1S)-(+)-22a protected mice from LPS-induced lethality in a dose-dependent manner.
