A stilbene and dihydrochalcones with radical scavenging activities from Loiseleuria procumbens

Phytochemistry. 2000 Aug;54(8):871-4. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(00)00200-4.

Abstract

A new dihydrochalcone, 6''-acetylphloridzosid, was isolated from the whole plant of Loiseleuria procumbens (L.) Desv. and identified as 2'-O-(6''-O-acetylglucopyranosyl)-4,4',6'-trihydroxydihydrochal cone by spectroscopic methods. In addition, one stilbene and three other dihydrochalcones were identified as (E)-piceid, phloretin (2',4,4',6'-tetrahydroxydihydrochalcone), phloridzosid (2'-O-glucopyranosyl-4,4',6'-trihydroxydihydrochalcone) and asebotin (2'-O-glucopyranosyl-4'-methoxy-4,6'-dihydroxydihydrochalcone), respectively. Some of these compounds showed scavenging properties towards the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical and antioxidant properties in a test with lysozyme.
