Six new phenolic acid derivatives, salviachinensines A-F (1-6), together with 14 known compounds (7-20) were isolated from the Chinese medicinal plant Salvia chinensis. The structures of salviachinensines A-F (1-6) were elucidated by NMR spectroscopy, bioinspired chemical synthesis, ECD analysis, and quantum chemical calculation methods. Compounds 2 and 3 are a pair of cis- trans isomers, and compounds 5 and 6 a pair of epimers. The solvent-induced isomerization of compounds 5 and 6 and the hypothetical biogenetic pathway of compounds 1-6, as well as the antiproliferative property and the ability of 1 to induce Apoptosis and arrest cell cycle progression of MOLM-13 cells, were also investigated.
