description Six compounds including three new benzophenones, selagibenzophenones D-F (<b>1</b>–<b>3</b>), two known selaginellins (<b>4</b>–<b>5</b>) and one known flavonoid (<b>6</b>), were isolated from <i>Selaginella tamariscina</i>. The structures of new compounds were established by 1D-, 2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS spectral analyses. Compound <b>1</b> represents the second example of diarylbenzophenone from natural sources. Compound <b>2</b> possesses an unusual biphenyl-bisbenzophenone structure. Their cytotoxicity against human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and SMCC-7721 cells and inhibitory activities on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW264.7 cells were evaluated. Compound <b>2</b> showed moderate inhibitory activity against HepG2 and SMCC-7721 cells, and compounds <b>4</b> and <b>5</b> showed moderate inhibitory activity to HepG2 cells. Compounds <b>2</b> and <b>5</b> also exhibited inhibitory activities on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide (NO) production.
