J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2012;14(8):799-804. doi: 10.1080/10286020.2012.691475. Epub 2012 Jun 14.

Abstract

From the EtOH extract of the flowers of Camellia nitidissima Chi, a new acylated flavonoid glycoside, quercetin 7-O-(6"-O-E-caffeoyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), has been isolated, together with three known flavonoids: quercetin (2), quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), and quercetin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. Compound 1 was shown to inhibit proliferation and to induce apoptosis of human lymphoma U937 cells.
