Anti-inflammatory activity of caffeic acid derivatives isolated from the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge was written by Choi, Hyun Gyu;Tran, Phuong Thao;Lee, Jeong-Hyung;Min, Byung Sun;Kim, Jeong Ah. And the article was included in Archives of Pharmacal Research in 2018.Name: (R)-3-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)-1-methoxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl (2S,3S)-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-4-((E)-3-(((R)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-methoxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl)oxy)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl)-7-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-carboxylate This article mentions the following:

Ten caffeic acid derivatives (1-10) were isolated from the roots of S. miltiorrhiza by using various chromatog. methods and their chem. structures were spectroscopically elucidated. The absolute configurations of chiral centers were determined by comparison with reported coupling constants, optical rotation values, and CD techniques. Anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated using NO, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition assays, and by determining the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Two new caffeic acid derivatives, 8-epiblechnic acid 9-Me ester (4) and 8-epiblechnic acid 9′-Me ester (5), and 8 known derivatives, caffeic acid Me ester (1), shimobashiric acid B (2), rosmarinic acid Me ester (3), salvianolic acid C (6), Me salvianolate C (7), lithospermic acid monomethyl ester (8), lithospermic acid di-Me ester (9), and di-Me lithospermate B (10), were isolated from the EtOAc fraction of S. miltiorrhiza. All caffeic acid derivatives were evaluated for their inhibitory effect on NO production Compounds 2 and 3 inhibited NO production with IC50 values of 1.4 and 0.6 μM, resp. These compounds also strongly inhibited the production of iNOS and COX-2. In addition, compound 3 induced the expression HO-1 in a concentration-dependent manner at 0.1, 0.3, and 1.0 μM. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (R)-3-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)-1-methoxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl (2S,3S)-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-4-((E)-3-(((R)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-methoxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl)oxy)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl)-7-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-carboxylate (cas: 875313-64-7Name: (R)-3-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)-1-methoxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl (2S,3S)-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-4-((E)-3-(((R)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-methoxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl)oxy)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl)-7-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-carboxylate).
