Inhibitors of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase in Phyllostachys nigra MUNRO var. henonis STAPF. and Phragmites communis TRIN., and inhibition by related compounds.

Abstract
CAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitors present in the culms of Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis and the rhizomes of Phragmites communis (Gramineae) were identified as 2,5-dimethoxy-p-benzoquinone, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, syringaldehyde, coniferylaldehyde, vanilic acid, ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid. The structure-activity relationship was investigated with 12 derivatives of p-benzoquinone, 22 derivatives of benzaldehyde, 10 derivatives of benzyl alcohol, 24 derivatives of benzoic acid and 32 derivatives of C6-C3 related compounds.
