Abstract

Five new quinic acid derivatives (1–5), together with 10 known quinic acid derivatives (6– 15), were isolated from the MeOH extract of Pimpinella brachycarpa (Umbelliferae). Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic analyses including extensive 2D NMR studies (COSY, HMQC and HMBC). Isolated compounds 1–15 were evaluated for their inhibitory activities on nitric oxide (NO) production in an activated murine microglial cell ...
