Paeonins A and B, lipoxygenase inhibiting monoterpene galactosides from Paeonia emodi

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2003 Mar;51(3):252-4. doi: 10.1248/cpb.51.252.

Abstract

Paeonins A and B, new monoterpene galactosides have been isolated from the chloroform-soluble fraction of the roots of Paeonia emodi and showed potent lipoxygenase inhibitory activity. The structures of 1 and 2 have been assigned on the basis of spectral analysis including one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques.
