Sterols from Hericium erinaceum and their inhibition of TNF-α and NO production in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 cells

Erinarols G-J (1-4) and 10 known sterols were isolated from a methanol extract of dried fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceum. Their anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated in terms of inhibition of TNF-α and NO production in LPS-stimulated murine RAW264.7 cells.
