The methanolic extract from the seeds of Arctium lappa was found to inhibit the LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells. Bioassay-guided fractionation of a methylene chloride soluble fraction led to the isolation of three lignan compounds, arctiin (1), arctigenin (2), and lappaol B (3). Their structures were elucidated by UV, IR, MS, and NMR data, as well as by comparison with those of the literatures. Arctigenin (2) and lappaol B (3) had an iNOS inhibitory activity with $IC_{50}$ values of 12.5 and $25.9;{mu}M$, respectively.
