yield compounds 2 (22 mg) and 11 (26 mg). Fr. C3 was further purified by CC (YMC C-18; H2O/MeOH
1.5 :1 to 1:1) to yield compound 3 (10 mg).

Table. HR-ESI-MS (neg.): 503.1923 ([M ꢀ H]ꢀ, C26H31O1ꢀ0 ; calc. 503.1917).
Quercetin-7-O-b-d-glucuronide methyl ester (¼2-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)-3,5-dihydroxy-7-[(6-meth-
yl-b-d-glucopyranuronosyl)oxy]-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one; 2): Yellow powder. [a]1D8 ¼ ꢀ189.1 (c ¼ 1.0,
MeOH). UV (MeOH): 256 (1.86), 372 (1.60). IR (KBr): 3308, 1740, 1654, 1612, 1597, 1497, 1317, 1247,
1212, 1173, 1088, 1044, 1024, 1000. 1H- and 13C-NMR: see the Table. HR-ESI-MS (neg.): 491.0828 ([M ꢀ
H]ꢀ, C22H19Oꢀ13 ; calc. 491.0826).
Acid Hydrolysis. Compound 1 (2.0 mg) was dissolved in 1n HCl (dioxane/H2O 1:1, v/v, 1 ml) and
then heated to 808 in a water bath for 3 h. The cooled mixture was diluted with H2O (4 ml) and extracted
with AcOEt (3 ꢂ 5 ml). The aq. layer was thoroughly dried under N2 after neutralization with Ag2CO3.
The residues were dissolved in 0.1 ml of dry pyridine, and then l-cysteine methyl ester hydrochloride in
pyridine (0.06m, 0.1 ml) was added to the solns. The mixture was heated at 608 for 2 h, and 0.1 ml of
TMSCl (Me3SiCl) soln. was added, followed by heating at 608 for 1.5 h. The dried product were
partitioned with hexane and H2O (0.1 ml each), and the org. layer was analyzed by GC (column: SPB-1,
0.25 mm ꢂ 30 m; detector, FID; detector temp., 3008; column temp., 2108; injector temp., 2708; carrier
gas, He, 2 ml/min). The monosaccharide was confirmed as d-glucose by comparison of the retention time
of the monosaccharide derivative (tR 14.09 min) with that of authentic sugar derivatives (d-glucose
derivative: tR 14.11 min and l-glucose derivative: tR 14.26 min), which were prepared by the same
reaction from the standard glucoses.
Biological Assay. Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) were grown from wild-type
C57BL/6 mice (Taconic Farm, NY, USA). Briefly, the mouse tibia and femur were obtained by flushing
with Dulbeccoꢁs modified Eagleꢁs medium to yield bone marrow cells. The cells were cultured in RPMI
1640 medium containing 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco, NY, USA), 50 mm 2-
sulfanylethanol, and 2 mm glutamine supplemented with a 3% J558L hybridoma cell culture supernatant
containing granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. The culture medium was replaced with
fresh medium every second day. At day 6 of culture, nonadherent cells and loosely adherent DC
aggregates were harvested, washed, and resuspended in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 5% FBS. The
BMDCs were incubated in 48-well plates at a density of 2 ꢂ 105 cells/ml, and then treated with the test
compounds in DMSO (2, 10, 25, and 50 mm) for 1 h before stimulation with 10 ng/ml LPS from
Salmonella minnesota (Alexis, NY, USA). Supernatants were harvested 16 h after stimulation.
Concentrations of murine IL-12 p40, IL-6, and TNF-a in the culture supernatant fraction were
determined by enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay (BD Pharmingen, CA, USA) according to the
manufacturerꢁs instructions. The data are presented as mean ꢁ SD of at least three independent
experiments performed in triplicate.
