chlorogenic-acid and methyl-chlorogenate

To study the chemical composition and their anti-inflammatory activities of honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica Thunb.) roots, seventeen compounds were isolated from the roots of L. japonica Thunb. by various chromatography, including silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and preparative HPLC. Their structures were identified by MS, IR, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, as 1-oxo-(1H)-cyclopenta[b]benzofuran-7-carbaldehyde (1), 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (2), chlorogenic acid (3), loganin aglycone (4), caffeic acid (5), secologanin dimethyl acetal (6), korolkoside (7), coniferin (8), sweroside (9), secoxyloganin (10), 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (11), chlorogenic acid methyl ester (12), chlorogenic acid ethyl ester (13), 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid (14), 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid (15), grandifloroside (16), and 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid (17). Among those, compound 1 is a new compound, and compound 8 is found in L. japonica for the first time. Compounds 1, 3, 14-17 showed significant anti-inflammatory activities against macrophage in zebrafish.

To study the chemical constituents from Akebia trifoliata stems.. The compounds were isolated and purified by column chromatography, and their structures were determined through spectroscopic techniques and physicochemical properties.. Six compounds were isolated from the stems of Akebia trifolita and identified as cryptochlorogenic acid methyl ester (1), neochlorogenic acid methyl ester (2), chlorogenic acid methyl ester (3), methyl 3,5-di-O-caffeoyl quinate (4), methyl 3,4-di-O-caffeoyl quinate (5) and methyl 4,5-di-O-caffeoyl quinate (6).. All compounds are isolated from Akebia genus for the first time. Compounds 1,5 and 6 demonstrate obvious inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase.
