Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Constituents from Cuscuta japonica var. formosana
摘要
A new amide derivative, cuscujaponamide (1), has been isolated from the aerial parts of Cuscuta japonica var. formosana, together with eight known compounds, kaempferol (2), quercetin (3), astragalin (4), hyperoside (5), (+)-pinoresinol (6), (+)-sesamin (7), caffeic acid (8), and p-coumaric acid (9). The structure of the new compound 1 was determined through spectroscopic and MS analyses. Among the isolates, cuscujaponamide (1), kaempferol (2), hyperoside (5), and (+)-pinoresinol (6) showed potent inhibition with IC50 values of 16.03 ±1.46, 18.52 ± 1.70, 18.17 ± 1.64, and 15.90 ± 2.04 μM, respectively, against LPS-induced NO generation. In addition, compounds 1, 2, 3, and 5 also showed potent DPPH radicals scavenging activities with IC50 values of 17.29 ± 1.63, 19.02 ± 2.14, 15.62 ±1.42, and 13.25 ±1.45 μM, respectively.
