Three previously undescribed sesquiterpenes, along with three known ones were isolated from the seeds of Cichorium glandulosum. The structures of them were elucidated by the analysis of spectroscopic data. The isolated compounds were tested for their neuroprotective effects against LPS-induced neuroinflammation in BV-2 cells. Santamarine (5) exhibited inhibitory activity on LPS-induced NO production in BV-2 cells with IC of 0.89 ± 0.12 μM. The mechanism of the compound 5 was related to activating the NF-κB, MAPK and cGAS/STING pathways.
