Abstract

|
Chaenomeles sinensis Koehne (Rosaceae) is a deciduous tree and is distributed in China, Korea and Japan. In previous studies on the fruits of C. sinensis, some triterpenoid compouds such as oleanolic acid, tormentic acid were reported. In an ongoing investigation into biologically active compounds from natural products, the methanol extract of the stems of C. sinensis was investigated. By means of the repeated column chromatography using silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, LiChroprep RP-18, betulin (1), tormentic acid (2), 1--D-glucopyranosyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzene (3), lyoniresinol-2a-O--L-rhamnopyranoside (4) were isolated. The chemical structures of compounds 1-4 were determined by the basis of physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic methods such as 1D and 2D NMR. For the isolated compounds (1-4), the inhibitory activity of IL-6 production in TNF- stimulated MG-63 cell was examined. Among the isolates, betulin (1), 1--D-glucopyranosyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzene (3), lyoniresinol-2a-O--L-rhamnopyranoside (4) showed inhibitory effects on IL-6 production in TNF- stimulated MG-63 cell.
