The invention belongs to the technical field of natural pharmaceutical
chemistry, and discloses a
benzofuran compound in
dalbergia odorifera and a preparation method and application thereof.The
benzofuran compound is separated from
dalbergia odorifera of a leguminous
dalbergia plant, the heartwood of the dalbergia odorifera is extracted and concentrated to obtain extract, and the extract is filtered to obtain the
benzofuran compound. The extract is taken and sequentially subjected to
silica gel column chromatography, medium-pressure ODS
column chromatography and gel
column chromatography separation for multiple times, then semi-preparative
high performance liquid chromatography is used for purification, and the benzofuran compounds can be obtained. According to the present invention,
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is adopted to induce RAW 264.7 cells to establish an
inflammation model, such that the compound has good anti-inflammatory activity, IC50 is 14.33 [mu] M, and expression of inflammatory factor
interleukin-6 (IL-6) and
interleukin-1 [beta] (IL-1 [beta]) can be inhibited;
