Four new phenolic compounds from the fruit of (Cornaceae) and their anti-inflammatory activity in RAW 264.7 cells.

Using various chromatographic methods, four new phenolics, coroffesters A-D () were isolated from the fruit of (Cornaceae). Their structures () were elucidated unambiguously by spectroscopic methods such as one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (1 D- and 2 D-NMR) spectroscopy and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS). The anti-inflammatory activity of the isolated compounds was also evaluated. All compounds () showed moderate inhibitory activity against NO production in a dose-dependent manner in RAW 264.7 cells.
