Matrix metalloproteinase-2 inhibitors from Clinopodium chinense var. parviflorum

J Nat Prod. 2009 Aug;72(8):1379-84. doi: 10.1021/np800781t.

Abstract

From the aerial parts of Clinopodium chinense var. parviflorum, nine new phenylpropanoids, clinopodic acids A-I (2-10), were isolated together with a known phenylpropanoid, rosmarinic acid (1). The structures of these new compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. Clinopodic acid C (4) showed MMP-2 inhibitory activity (IC(50) 3.26 microM).
