Hyperipersions A-C, three new acylphloroglucinols from the branches and leaves of Hypericum perforatum L. with antiangiogenic activities.

Three new acylphloroglucinols were isolated from the branches and leaves of Hypericum perforatum L., named as hyperipersions A-C ( 1-3 ), together with three known compounds which were identified as elegaphenone ( 4 ), 2,6-dihydroxy-3,4-dimethylbenzoic acid methyl ester ( 5 ) and 2,3-methylenedioxyxanthone ( 6 ), respectively. The structures of isolated compounds were determined by UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS, NMR analysis. Their antiangiogenic activities were studied against HUVECs. The IC ₅₀ value of compound 3 was 2.39 ± 0.21  μ M against HUVECs, which was stronger than vatalanib, and other compounds had moderate antiangiogenic activity.
