Abstract: | Phytochemical investigation of the Tibetan medicinal plant Ixeridium gracile resulted in the isolation and identification of twelve flavonoids and two coumarins, compounds 1-14, the dimeric '2alpha,3alpha-epoxy-5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavan-(4beta-->8)-epicatechin' (1) being a new constituent. The free-radical-scavenging potentials of different extract fractions as well as of the pure compounds towards the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical were evaluated, and are discussed in terms of structure-activity relationship (SAR). The flavonoids were found to be the major constituents contributing to the free-radical-scavenging activity of I. gracile, but the high concentration of coumarins additionally contributed to the observed activity. |
