A New Ferulic Acid Derivative from Pimpinella thellungiana

A new ferulic acid derivative, (1R,2R)-2-O-E-feruloyl-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butane-1,2-diol (1) together with six known compounds (2 –7), was isolated from the extracts ofPimpinella thellungiana H.Wolff. The structures of compounds were identified by MS, NMR spectroscopy, NMR calculation, ECD, and comparisons of spectroscopic data. Compounds1 –7 were further evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activities on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells.
