J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2013;15(1):59-66. doi: 10.1080/10286020.2012.745855. Epub 2013 Jan 17.

Abstract

Six new carboxylic acids (1-6), together with 11 known ones (7-17), were isolated from the aerial parts of Lysimachia clethroides. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical evidence. Five new carboxylic acids (1 and 3-6) were evaluated for their in vitro inhibitory activity against aldose reductase.
