In the course of our investigation to isolate the non-steroidal antiinflammatory active (NSAIA) lead molecules from the plants, 1 [(2S)-4-hydroxy-7-hydroxymethyl-2-(1-hydroxy-l-methylethyl)-2,3-dihydro-5H- oxolo[3′2′:4,5]-benzo [b]oxin-5-one also called as norcimifugin] has been isolated from the dichloromethane extract of rhizomes of Cimicifuga foetida. Characterization, total synthesis and antiinflammatory activity of 1 are reported. Alkyl, ester, carbamate, amine derivatives of 1 have been synthesized and their antiinflammatory activity assessed. Norcimifugin displayed antiinflammatory activity in the carrageenin induced paw edema model (50.4% inhibition at 50 mg/kg, p.o.).
