Abstract:
A novel lignan glysocide, namely sagitiside A (1), together with two known ones, (+)-lyoniresinol-2α-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2) and (+)-5'-methoxyisolariciresinol 3α-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), was isolated from the 95% ethanol extract of dry roots of Tinospora sagittata var. yunnanensis. The structure of the new compound (1) was determined based on MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectral data. Compounds 1-3 showed antioxidant activity with EC(50) values 55, 75 and 80 µM by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging assay.
