E-mail: liujf2009y@126.com 1 A new inositol triester from Taraxacum mongolicum One new inositol triester, 4,5,6-tri-O-p-hydroxyphenylacetyl-chiro-inositol (1) was isolated from the ethanol extract of Taraxacum mongolicum, along with two known compounds, 11,13-dihydrotaraxinic acid (2) and taraxinic acid -D-glucopyranosyl ester (3). The isolates were tested for their anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activities, 11,13-dihydrotaraxinic acid (2) exhibited an IC50 value of 0.91 mM inhibiting on HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) secretion and an IC50 value of 0.34 mM inhibiting on HBV e antigen (HBeAg) secretion using HBV transfected Hep G2.2.15 cell line. Key words: Taraxacum mongolicum, Inositol, Anti-HBV 2 The spectroscopic data of compounds 2-3: 11, 13-Dihydrotaraxinic acid (2).
