Inspired by the oxy-tyrosinase type II copper enzyme, a biomimetic synthesis of the natural product horsfiequinone A (1) has been achieved using CuOTf/DBED/O2 catalyzed oxidation as a key step. The synthetic route furnished 1 in 33% overall yield (64% brsm) from commercially available para-hydroxybenzaldehyde. Moreover, revisiting the biological activity of 1 resulted in the discovery of its in vitro inhibitory activity towards nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells with an IC50 value of 4.42 ± 0.81 μM. The anti-inflammatory effect of 1 was further supported by an iNOS expression inhibition assay and molecular docking simulation.

Twenty-one chalcones were prepared via aldol condensation and subsequent reduction of these compound led to the corresponding dihydrochalcone and 1,3-diphenylpropane derivatives. The synthetic products were examined for their effects on NO inhibition in L
