2-Methyl-l-erythritol glycosides from Gardenia jasminoides

Two new 2-methyl-l-erythritol glycosides (1-2), along with two known triterpenoids (3-4), four quinic acid derivatives (5-8) and one flavonoid (9) were isolated from the fruit of Gardenia jasminoides. Following structural elucidation, their inhibitory activities on NO production in LPS-induced macrophages were evaluated.117
