Although some polymethoxyflavones possess several important biological properties, including neuroprotective, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory ones, sudachitin, a polymethoxyflavone from Citrus sudachi, has been little studied. In this study, we found that sudachitin inhibited nitric oxide production by suppressing the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages, indicating that sudachitin has an anti-inflammatory effect.
