Phytochemical examination of the leaves and stems of Viscum articulatum resulted in the isolation of three pairs of new flavanone glycosides, 2R/2S-viscarticulide A-C (1a/1b-3a/3b), together with eight known compounds (7-14). Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic data analyses. The diastereoisomers were separated by HPLC on a chiral phase and the absolute configuration at C-2 was determined by circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The protective effects of compounds 1-3 against H2O2-induced cytotoxicity with EA.hy926 cells were tested. The results showed that compounds 1-3 improved the survival of EA.hy926 cells after H2O2 exposure at the tested concentrations.
