Two new phloroglucinol derivatives, mallotophilippen A (1). and B (2). were isolated from the fruits of Mallotus philippensis. These compounds were identified, using chemical and spectral data, as 1-[5,7-dihydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-6-(2,4,6-trihydroxy-3-isobutyryl-5-methyl-benzyl)-2H-chromen-8-yl]-2-methyl-butan-1-one and 1-[6-(3-Acetyl-2,4,6-trihydroxy-5-methyl-benzyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromen-8-yl]-2-methyl-butan-1-one, respectively. They inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) gene expression by a murine macrophage-like cell line (RAW 264.7), which was activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and recombinant mouse interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). Furthermore, they inhibited histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells induced by Compound 48/80. These results suggest that the novel phloroglucinol derivatives have anti-inflammatory effects.

Phloroglucinol is a key byproduct of gut microbial metabolism that has been widely used as a treatment for irritable bowel syndrome. Here, we demonstrate that phloroglucinol tempers macrophage responses to pro-inflammatory pathogens and stimuli. , phloroglucinol administration decreases gut and extraintestinal inflammation in murine models of inflammatory bowel disease and systemic infection.

Polyprenylated benzoylphloroglucinols (PPBPs) make up a group of complex natural products with anticancer potentials that are mainly distributed in plants. As part of our intensive exploration on new bioactive substances from this genus, we report two undescribed PPBPs, picrorhizones I () and J (), along with four known analogues (-) from the stem bark of and . The new structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, particularly 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS, whereas the absolute configurations were determined by a combination of ECD and NMR calculations coupled with a DP4+ probability analysis.

Fifteen undescribed phenylpropanoyl phloroglucinol derivatives featuring modified isoprenyl and/or geranyl units (1-15), in conjunction with thirteen known analogues (16-28), were obtained from the glandular hairs of the fruit of Mallotus philippensis. Meanwhile, fourteen pairs of new enantiomers [(±)-1-9, (±)-11-15] were further resolved by chiral purification. Their structures were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments and quantum chemical calculations.
