A new compound from Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl with antiviral effect on RSV.
A new compound, 2-(1,4-dihydroxy cyclohexanyl )-acetic acid isolated from the seeds of Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl, has been assessed for potent antiviral effect on RSV for the first time in vitro by cell morphology methods. Its structure was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence (IR, MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR). We have trivially named it Rengynic acid.
