A new aromatic glucoside from stem bark of <i>Illicium difengpi</i> K.I.B. et K.I.M. LiChuntong WuZhijun ChenWansheng 2015 <div><p>A new aromatic glucoside, namely 4-methoxyphenyl-(6-deoxy-α-L-mannopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (<b>1</b>), together with six known aromatic glucosides (<b>2</b>–<b>7</b>) were isolated from the stem bark of <i>Illicium difengpi</i>. The structures of these compounds were established by spectroscopic methods. The isolated aromatic glucosides were tested for anti-inflammatory activity. Compounds <b>1</b>, <b>3</b> and <b>6</b> showed significant inhibitory effect on nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in RAW 264.7 macrophages induced by lipopolysaccharide.</p></div>
