Journal of natural products 2002 MayUsing the inhibition of Cu(2+)-induced low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) peroxidation to direct fractionation, four new benzenoids, tournefolal (1), tournefolic acids A (2) and B (3), and B ethyl ester (4), together with salvianolic acid A (5), isosalvianolic acid C (6), lithospermic acid (7), salvianolic acid F (8), and rosmarinic acid (9), were isolated from the stems of Tournefortia sarmentosa. The structures of the new compounds 1-4 were elucidated on the basis of spectral and chemical methods. Furthermore, the anti-LDL-peroxidative activity of the isolated compounds was determined. All isolated compounds exhibited more potent activity than probucol except for salvianolic acid F (8).
