Abstract:
One new mesomer, ficusnaph A (1), two new phenolic acid derivatives, ficusnaphs B and C (2 and 3) together with three known biogenetically related polysubstituted naphthalene derivatives (4-6) were isolated from the stems of Ficus esquiroliana Levl. The structures of these compounds were elucidated using comprehensive spectroscopic methods. Compounds 1-6 were evaluated the inhibitory activities against the nitric oxide (NO) production induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells in vitro. Compounds 1 and 2 showed significant inhibitory activity with the IC50 value of 3.12±0.14 and 7.66±0.18 μM, respectively.

Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Overview
Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.
