Nervogenic Acid Derivatives and Phenanthrenes from Liparis nervosa and Their Antimicrobial and Immunosuppressive Activities.

Two new nervogenic acid derivatives liparisnervosides Q (1) and R (5), as well as five known nervogenic acid derivatives (2-4, 6, 7) and four phenanthrenes (8-11) were isolated from the whole plant of Liparis nervosa (Thunb. ex A. Murray) Lindl.. Their structures were detremined using extensive spectroscopic techniques, including 1D, 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS, and acid hydrolysis. Furthermore, their antimicrobial and immunosuppressive activities were evaluated. Nervosine VII (3) exhibited antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with an MIC of 62.5 μg/mL and inhibited the proliferation of human T cells with an IC 50 value of 9.67±0.96 μM. These findings contribute to our understanding of the potential pharmacological properties of these compounds.
