Nat Prod Res. 2014;28(21):1813-8. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2014.947491. Epub 2014 Aug 13.

Abstract

A new phenyl glycoside, 2-(sophorosyl)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone (9), was isolated from the ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Equisetum hyemale L., together with eight known compounds (1-8). The structures of these compounds were elucidated using a combination of spectroscopic analyses and chemical method. Of these nine compounds, 4 and 7 showed hepatoprotective effects towards tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in Hep 3B cells with EC50 values of 42.7 ± 1.5 and 132.6 ± 2.8 μM, respectively.

Keywords: 5-hydroymethylfurfural; Equisetum hyemale L; hepatoprotective effect.
