Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of Hypericum sampsonii Hance resulted in the isolation of thirty-five polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols including six new ones (1, 3, 5, and 15-17). Their structures were elucidated by UV, IR, NMR, HRESIMS, and calculated ECD analysis. Some compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory effects in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Compounds 1 and 26 showed significant inhibitory effects on LPS-induced NO production, and markedly suppressed the protein expression of iNOS and COX-2 in LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells.
