Soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors from (Wall.) Decne.

Nine bioactive compounds, including one new dihydroisocoumarin glycoside, 3-thunberginol C 6---D-glucopyranoside (), were isolated by chromatographic separation from the fruits of the Vietnamese medicinal plant (Wall.) Decne. 3-thunberginol C 6---D-glucopyranoside was determined as a mixture of boat-like conformers based on NMR evidence and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
