Melting points were measured with an X-4 melting point apparatus (Bei Jing Taike Co., Ltd.) and were uncorrected. 1H NMR and 13C NMR were determined in CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 or TFA-d4 on a Brucker 300 spectrometer at room temperature, respectively, and tetramethylsilane (TMS) served as an internal standard. Spin multiplicities are given as s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet) and m (multiplet) as well as b (broad). Coupling constants (J) are given in hertz.

Biological assays 2.1. Materials Stock solutions of compounds were prepared with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO, Sigma) and diluted with RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide), Concanavalin A (ConA) was purchased from Sigma (St Louis, Mo). Cyclosporin A (CsA) was obtained from Sandoz Ltd (Basel, Switzerland). 2.2. Animals Female BALB/c mice (6–8 weeks old, 18–22g) were supplied by the Laboratory Animal Center of Yangzhou University (Jiangsu, China). They were maintained with free access to pellet food and water in plastic cages at 21±2 oC and kept on a 12h light-dark cycle. Animal welfare and experimental procedures were carried out strictly in accordance with the ‘Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals’ (National Research Council, 1996) and the related ethical regulations of our university. All efforts were made to minimize the animals’ suffering and to reduce the number of animals used. 2.3. MTT assay [1] Fresh spleen cells were obtained from BALB/c mice (male, 6–8 weeks old). 5×105 spleen cells were cultured in triplicate in 96-well flat plates with 200 μL SI22 RPMI-1640 media containing 10% FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 U/mL streptomycin in a humidified, 37 oC, 5% CO2-containing incubator for 48 h in the presence or absence of various concentrations of compounds. The cells with media alone were used as control. 20 μL MTT (5 mg/mL) reagent was added 4 h before the end of culture. Removed supernatant after centrifuge and DMSO (200 μL) was added. Shaking to make a clear solution and the absorbance value at 570 nm was collected by microplate reader. The percentage of cell growth inhibition was determined using the following formula: Cytotoxicity (%) = (1-[Compounds (OD570)-Background (OD570)] / [Control (OD570)-Background (OD570)])×100 The compounds were dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) followed by dilution with culture medium to desired concentrations, and DMSO final concentration was 0.1%. DMSO at 0.1% was added into control group and showed no effects on cells. 2.4. ConA-induced T cell and LPS-induced B cell proliferation assay [1] Fresh spleen cells were obtained from BALB/c mice (male, 6–8 weeks). 5×105 Spleen cells were cultured at the same conditions as those mentioned above. The cultures were unstimulated or stimulated with 5 mg/mL ConA or 10 mg/ml of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce T cell or B cell proliferative response, respectively. The compounds were added to cultures with desired concentrations to test their bio-activities. The cells stimulated with ConA or LPS were used as control and CsA as positive control. Proliferation was assessed by MTT assay as above (2.3.). 2.5. Statistics All experiments were repeated 3–5 times with the similar outcome. The p-values SI23 between two experimental groups were tested by two-tailed Student’s t-test, and p-values of 0.05 or less were considered to be statistically significant. References 1.
