Undescribed Phenolic Glycosides from Syzygium attopeuense and Their Inhibition of Nitric Oxide Production

Four undescribed phenolic glycosides including three stilbene derivatives ( 1 and 3 ) and sodium salt of 3 ( 2 ), and a chalcone glycoside ( 4 ), together with thirteen known compounds ( 5 – 17 ) were isolated from the leaves of Syzygium attopeuense (Gagnep.) Merr. & L.M.Perry. Their chemical structures were elucidated to be (Z)-gaylussacin ( 1 ), 6′′-O-galloylgaylussacin sodium salt ( 2 ), 6′′-O-galloylgaylussacin ( 3 ), 4′-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-glucopyranosyl]oxy-2′-hydroxy-6′-methoxydihydrochalcone ( 4 ), gaylussacin ( 5 ), pinosilvin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside ( 6 ), myricetin-3-O-(2′′-O-galloyl)-α-L-rhamnopyranoside ( 7 ), myricetin-3-O-(3′′-O-galloyl)-α-L-rhamnopyranoside ( 8 ), myricetin-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside ( 9 ), quercitrin ( 10 ), myricetin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside ( 11 ), myricetin-3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside ( 12 ), quercetin 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranoside ( 13 ), myricetin-3-O-2′′-O-galloyl)-α-L-arabinopyranoside ( 14 ), (+)-gallocatechin ( 15 ), (−)-epigallocatechin ( 16 ), and 3,3’,4’-trimethoxyellagic acid 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside ( 17 ) by the analysis of HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectra in comparison with the previously reported data. Compounds 1–3 , 5 , and 6 significant inhibition of NO production in LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 18.37±1.38 to 35.12±2.53 μM, compared to a positive control (dexamethasone) with an IC₅₀ value of 15.37±1.42 μM.
