Anti-inflammatory active components of the roots of Datura metel

One new phenolic glycoside, methyl 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate-4-O-[2-O-beta-D-apisoyl-6-O-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)]-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), together with 10 known compounds (2-11), were isolated from the roots of Datura metel. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic data. Furthermore, the in vitro anti-inflammatory activities of compounds 1-11 were evaluated.
