Provided are 7-hydroxy-6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives and synthesis methods thereof. The compounds significantly inhibit the production of nitrogen monoxide (NO) and superoxide in an activated microglial cell and expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β inducive NO synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 genes. They also prevent NF-kB shift to a nucleus, decrease reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibit expression of GTP cyclohydrolase I gene and over-production of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), and protect dopaminergic neurons from injury due to activated microglial cells. Consequently, the compounds are effective in treating inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.

Seventeen tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of NO production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated BV-2 microglial cells. Compounds 5a, 9c and 11a potently attenuated NO production by >60%, and 5a and 11
