Five New Phenylpropanoyl Phloroglucinol Derivatives from Leptospermum scoparium

Leptosperols C-G (1-5), five new phenylpropanoyl phloroglucinol derivatives were isolated from the leaves of Leptospermum scoparium. Compounds 1-3 are phenylpropanoyl phloroglucinol-sesquiterpene adducts with new carbon skeletons. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation. Compounds 2 and 3 exhibited moderate anti-inflammatory activity in zebrafish acute inflammatory models.
