A new sesquiterpene glycoside and a new amide have been isolated from the stems of Tinospora sinensis. Their structures were established by 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques (1H,1H-COSY, NOESY, HSQC and HMBC) and mass spectrometry. The isolated compounds were subjected to evaluate neuroprotective activities in vitro. The pre-treatment of two new compounds can significantly ameliorate damage of oxidative stress induced by Aβ25-35 and improve PC12 cells survival.
Keywords: Amide; Sesquiterpene glycoside; Tinospora sinensis.
