유색미인 흑남벼(Oryza sativa cv. Heugnambyeo) 미강의 ethylacetate 가용성 용매분획물로부터 NO 생성을 저해시키는 단일화합물을 순수 분리한 후, HREI-MS 및 2D-NMR 분석을 통해 화학구조를 4-carboethoxy-6-methoxy-2-quinolone (1)과 4-carboethoxy-6-hydroxy-2-quinolone (2)으로 명명하였다.
We describe the immune stimulatory effects of compounds determined by means of activity-monitored extraction and isolation techniques. As a result, 4-carboethoxy-6-methoxy-2-quinolone (1) and 4-carboethoxy-6-hydroxy-2-quinolone (2) were isolated from the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of the Oryza sativa cv. Heugnambyeo bran, and were determined to exert significant inhibitory effects in macrophage cell line (murine RAW 264.7) and murine splenocytes. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence, particularly the results obtained via hetero nuclear multiple-bond connectivity and high-resolution MS spectroscopy. Up to date, compound (1) was isolated as natural sources for the first time.
