Three new compounds from the fruits of Solanum virginianum L. and their anti-inflammatory activities.

Three new compounds 1-glyceryl 9( β ), 10( α ), 11( β )-trihydroxy-12( Z )-octadecenoate, 2' S -20- O - p -hydroxyphenylpropionyloxy-20-hyd-roxyarachidic acid glycerol ester ( 2 ), 3- O - α -l-arabinopyranosyl-(1→6)- β -d-glucopyranoside of ethyl (3 S )-hydroxybutanoate ( 3 ), as well as a new natural product ( 4 ) were isolated from the fruits of Solanum virginianum L. The structures of 26 compounds were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, NMR calculation, chemical methods, and comparisons of spectroscopic data. Compounds 2 and 16 exhibited good anti-inflammatory activity in the LPS-induced RAW 264.7 inflammatory model with IC 50 values of 16.75 ± 1.54 and 22.43 ± 2.01  μ M, respectively.
