Popis: This is the first study investigating the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NRF2) activity of compounds containing a new scaffold, tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene. Eighteen compounds were synthesised and confirmed their NRF2 activation through NQO1 enzymatic activity and mRNA expression of NQO1 and HO-1 in Hepa-1c1c7 cells. The compounds disrupted the interaction between Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) and NRF2 via interfering with the KEAP1's Kelch domain. The compounds exhibited anti-inflammatory activity in Escherichia coli Lipopolysaccharide (LPS
