Bioactive phenylpropanoid glycosides from Tabebuia avellanedae

Three novel phenylpropanoid glycosides 2, 5, 6 were isolated from water extract of Tabebuia avellanedae, together with three known phenylpropanoid glycosides 1, 3, 4. All compounds were identified on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods and, for known compounds, by comparison with published data. All isolated compounds showed strong antioxidant activity in the DPPH assay, and compound 5 give the highest antioxidant activity among all compounds, with an IC₅₀ of 0.12 µM. All compounds exhibited moderate inhibitory effect on cytochrome CYP3A4 enzyme.
