Twenty-seven compounds including nine triterpenoids (1–9), eight sterols (10–17), two ribonucleotides (18, 19), four phenols (20–23), three glycosides (24–26), and one furan (27) were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Trametes versicolor (L.) Lloyd. This study is the first confirmation of the presence of the 11 compounds (3, 5, 6, 8, 18, 20, 21, 23–25, and 27) isolated from the Polyporaceae family, with six of these (2 and 12–16) from the genus Trametes. Compounds 3, 4, 10, 11, 16 and 17 were found to significantly inhibit the production of NO, TNF-α and IL-6 in a dose-dependent manner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new 1,4-napthoquinone derivative, namely (S)-(-)-3-(8-hydroxy-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-propionic acid methyl ester (1), was isolated from the roots of Juglans mandshurica Maxim. The structure was identified based on HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Investigation of EtOAc fraction from the 95% ethanol extract of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus led to the isolation of one new chromone (1) and seven known flavonoids (2–8). Their structures were elucidated mainly by NMR and HR-ESI-MS, as well as on comparison with the reported NMR data. The final substituent pattern of 1 was defined by comparison of 13C NMR data calculated by DFT/GIAO with those of experimental NMR data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Two new diarylheptanoids, (−)-threo-3′,4″-epoxy-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-7-(3-methoxyphenyl)heptan-2,3-diol (1) and (1α,3β,5α,6α)-1,5-epoxy-3,6-dihydroxy-1,7-bis(3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-phenyl)-heptane (2), along with one known diarylheptanoid, rhoiptelol B (3), were isolated from the roots of Juglans mandshurica. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were identified based on HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR including 1H–1H COSY, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY spectroscopic methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new chromene, acetic acid 2R-(4,8-dimethylnona-3,7-dienyl)-8-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-chromen-6-yl ester (1), was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Chroogomphus rutilus, together with six known compounds (2–7). The structures of these compounds were identified based on 1D and 2D NMR, including 1H–1H COSY, HMQC and HMBC spectroscopic methods. Of these seven compounds, 2 and 3 showed cytotoxicity against HSC-T6, SK-Hep1 and A549 cell lines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new phenyl glycoside, 2-(sophorosyl)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone (9), was isolated from the ethanolic extract of the aerial parts ofEquisetum hyemaleL., together with eight known compounds (1–8). The structures of these compounds were elucidated using a combination of spectroscopic analyses and chemical method. Of these nine compounds,4and7showed hepatoprotective effects towards tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in Hep 3B cells with EC50values of 42.7 ± 1.5 and 132.6 ± 2.8 μM, respectively.
