Three previously unidentified polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) derivatives, hypseudohenrins I-K (1-3), along with a known analogue hyphenrone X (4), were isolated from the aerial part of Hypericum pseudohenryi. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by NMR spectroscopy and ECD calculation. The anti-inflammatory activity of the compounds was evaluated. Compounds 1-3 showed mild anti-inflammatory activity while hyphenrone X showed prominent anti-inflammatory activity.[Formula: see text].
