description Our in-house ethnopharmacological knowledge directed our anti-inflammatory investigation into the leaves of <i>Backhousia mytifolia</i>. Bioassay guided isolation of the Australian indigenous plant <i>Backhousia myrtifolia</i> led to the isolation of six new rare peltogynoid derivatives named myrtinols A–F (<b>1</b>–<b>6</b>) along with three known compounds 4-<i>O</i>-methylcedrusin (<b>7</b>), 7-<i>O</i>-methylcedrusin (<b>8</b>) and 8-demethylsideroxylin (<b>9</b>). The chemical structures of all the compounds were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic data analysis, and absolute configuration was established using X-ray crystallography analysis. All compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity by assessing the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production and tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon (IFN)-γ activated RAW 264.7 macrophages. A structure activity relationship was also established between compounds (<b>1</b>–<b>6</b>), noting promising anti-inflammatory potential by compounds <b>5</b> and <b>9</b> with an IC<sub>50</sub> value of 8.51 ± 0.47 and 8.30 ± 0.96 µg/mL for NO inhibition and 17.21 ± 0.22 and 46.79 ± 5.87 µg/mL for TNF-α inhibition, respectively.
