Hc. Kwon et al., A new caffeoyl quinic acid from Aster scaber and its inhibitory activity against human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) integrase, CHEM PHARM, 48(11), 2000, pp. 1796-1798
The phytochemical study of the aerial parts of Aster scaber THUNB. (Asterac
eae) yielded a new caffeoyl quinic acid, (-) 3,5-dicaffeoyl-muco-quinic aci
d (2) and three known compounds, (-) 3,5-dicaffeoyl quinic acid (1), (-) 4,
5-dicaffeoyl quinic acid (3), (-) 5-caffeoyl quinic acid (4). The structure
s were established by high resolution spectroscopic methods. The antiviral
effects against HIV-1 integrase of the compounds was evaluated. (-) 3,5-Dic
affeoyl-muco-quinic acid (2) exhibited potent antiviral activity with an IC
50 value of 7.0 +/- 1.3 mug/ml.
