Abstract

Constituents of the fruits of Peatasites tatewakianus were investigated. A new compound, namely bakkenolide-VI (1), was isolated. The structures was elucidated on the basis of 1D, 2D NMR, TOF-MS and ESI-MS techniques, and physicochemical properties. The neuroprotective activity of the new compound was assayed with primary cultured neurons exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation and oxidative insults.
