식나무 뿌리에서 분리한 트리테르페노이드계 화합물의 IL-6 저해효과

Six triterpenoid compounds, friedelin (1), $3{\alpha}$-hydroxy-2-friedelanone (2), canophyllol (3), oleanolic aldehyde acetate (4), ursolic acid (5), and pachysandiol A (6) were isolated from the methylene chloride soluble fraction of the roots of A. japonica. The chemical structures of compounds 1-6 were determined by the basis of physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic methods such as 1D and 2D NMR. These compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time. For the isolated compounds (1-3), the inhibitory effect of IL-6 production in TNF-$\alpha$ stimulated MG-63 was examined. Among the isolates, $3{\alpha}$-hydroxy-2-friedelanone (2) showed potent inhibitory effect on IL-6 production in TNF-$3{\alpha}$ stimulated MG-63.
