Abstract
A new benzoic acid, 3-[2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acetoxy]benzoic acid (1), and two new caffeoyl derivatives, methyl (3E,5Z)-di-O-caffeoylquinate (2) and dhurrin 6′-O-caffeate (3), along with 20 known compounds were isolated from the leaves of Ilex kaushue collected in Vietnam. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1 D and 2 D NMR spectroscopy, and high-resolution MS spectrometry. The absolute configuration of 2 and 3 was unambiguously established by comparison of experimental and calculated ECD spectra and/or chemical reactivity. In addition, new compounds were evaluated for inhibitory effects of their tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production and cell cytotoxicity on lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW264 macrophage cells. All of those moderately suppressed TNF-α production in ratios of approximately 50% or higher at 25–100 µM, without cell cytotoxicity.
