Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Constituents from Myristica elliptica var. simiarum
摘要
A new neolignan derivative, myrisellipin (1), has been isolated from the seeds of Myristica elliptica var. simiarum, together with seven known compounds, licarin A (2), accuminatin (3), butein (4), 3′-hydroxypterostilbene (5), malabaricone B (6), malabaricone C (7), and 3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-(E)-propen-1-ol (8). The structure of new compound 1 was determined through spectroscopic and MS analyses. Among the isolated compounds, 1, 4, 5, 7, 8 showed potent inhibition, with IC50 values of 16.83 ± 1.18, 17.92 ± 1.28, 25.06 ± 2.01, 22.05 ± 1.74, and 23.58 ± 1.96 μM respectively, against LPS-induced NO generation. In addition, compounds 4, 5, and 8 also showed potent DPPH radical scavenging activities, with IC50 values of 37.02 ± 2.89, 80.36 ± 5.78, and 50.07 ± 4.11 μM, respectively.
