Ellagic acid glycosides with hepatoprotective activity from traditional Tibetan medicine Potentilla anserina

J Nat Med. 2018 Jan;72(1):317-325. doi: 10.1007/s11418-017-1137-y. Epub 2017 Oct 10.

Abstract

Two new gallic acid glycosides, potentillanosides G (1) and H (2), were newly isolated from the methanol extract of the tuberous roots of Potentilla anserina (Rosaceae), together with a known compound, ellagic acid 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (3). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence. Among the constituents, potentillanoside H (2, IC50 = 99.5 μM) was found to show hepatoprotective activity.

Keywords: Ellagic acid glycoside; Hepatoprotective activity; Potentilla anserina; Potentillanoside; Rosaceae.
