“…Fractions 12, 13 and 16 were submitted to 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR (300 MHz and 75 MHz, respectively) and ESI-MS. The data obtained were compared with literature values (Merfort, 1992;Pauli et al, 1998;Miketova et al, 1999), and the compounds were identified as quinic acid esters: fraction 12 (compound 1, 64.0 mg, 3,5-di-O-[E]-caffeoylquinic acid) and fraction 13 (compound 2, 58.8 mg, 4,5-di-O-[E]-caffeoylquinic acid) and fraction 16 (compound 3, 12.5 mg, 3,4,5-tri-O-[E]-caffeoylquinic acid) (Fig. 1).…”
