Searching for inhibitors of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced IL-6 (Interleukin-6) production from medicinal herbs, we isolated two active compounds though bioactivity-guided fractionation from the methanol extract of Chrysanthemum indicum L.. They were determined as kikkanol F monoacetate (1) and 5-hydroxy-6,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone (2) by means of spectroscopy techniques such as NMR and MS. The compound 1 and 2 inhibited LPS-induced IL-6 production in the PAW264.7 cells with $IC_{50}$ value of $47\;{\mu}g/ml$ and $27\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively.
