Three new bioactive phenolic glycosides from Liparis odorata.

Chemical investigation of the ethanol extract from the whole plant Liparis odorata (Willd.) Lindl (orchid family) has led to the isolation of three new phenolic glycosides named liparisglycoside A-C (1-3) along with six known compounds (4-9). The structures of compounds were elucidated by means of extensive spectroscopic data analysis and comparison with the literature data. In addition, compounds 3 and 9 revealed inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated nitric oxide production, and compounds 1, 3 and 9 displayed hypolipidaemic effects in in vitro bioassays.
