Abstract: 
Dysoxylum tpongense Pierre (local name ‘Huynh Dan Bap’) belonging to family Meliaceae, is a tree (3–10 m height), distributed in the mountainous areas (ca. 1000 m a.s.l.) in North Vietnam. From the dichloromethane fraction of the methanol extract of the leaves and stems of this plant, six dammarane triterpenes, one furanoid diterpene together with three sterols were isolated. Evaluation of biological activities of isolated compounds showed that cabraleahydroxylactone (5), cabraleahydroxylactone 3-acetate (6), and stigmast-4-en-3-one (10) possessed an anti-inflammatory effect against Liver X receptor (LXR) activation in HepG2 cell line model with IC50 values of 20.29 ± 3.69, 24.32 ± 2.99, and 7.09 ± 0.97 (μM), respectively. While three other triterpenoid compounds aglinin C 3- acetate (1), aglinin C (2), and 24-epi-cabraleadiol (4) presented the most significant inhibitory effect against TNF-α induced NF-κB activation in HepG2 cell line in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 values of 12.45 ± 2.37, 23.32 ± 3.25, and 13.95 ± 1.57 μM, respectively. As stigmast-4-en-3-one (10), with structure closely similar to cholesterol, acted selectively on LXRs but not on NF-kB activation pathway, this suggests that stigmast-4-en-3-one (10) can be potentially applied as an agonist on LXR signaling pathway. Pathways LXRs-NF-κB-iNOS expression have a close relationship and play a crucial role in proceeding metabolic abnormalities like atherosclerosis, obesity, inflammation, etc. Thus, the findings showed that dammarane-type triterpenoids from D. tpongense are worthy of further investigation for potential LXR agonists and potent anti-atherogenic agents against atherosclerotic lesion progression.
