Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Ligularia thomsonii has led to the isolation of three new phenylpropanoid glucosides ligularoside I (1), ligularoside II (2) and ligularoside III (3) along with nine known compounds; cinnamic acid (4), 3-phenylpropanoic acid (5), 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid (6), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (7), p-coumaric acid (8), caffeic acid (9), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (10), kaempferol 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (11) and 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (12), hitherto unreported from L. thomsonii. Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and chemical transformation. All these compounds were tested for antioxidant activity using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. Among them, compounds 9, 10 and 12 showed significant antioxidant activity against DPPH radicals with IC50 of 19.6, 23.3 and 8.9 mu m, respectively. (C) 2013 Phytochemical Society of Europe.
