Uncarinic acids: phospholipase Cgamma1 inhibitors from hooks of Uncaria rhynchophylla

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 May 17;9(10):1429-32. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(99)00211-5.

Abstract

Bioactivity-guided fractionation of the CHCl3 extract from hooks of Uncaria rhynchophylla led to the isolation of two triterpene esters, namely uncarinic acids A (1) and B (2). Their structures were established by spectroscopic and chemical methods. These compounds inhibited phospholipase Cgamma1 with IC50 values of 35.66 and 44.55 microM, respectively.
