A-type proanthocyanidin antioxidant from Dioclea lasiophylla

Phytochemistry. 2000 Dec;55(7):805-8. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(00)00297-1.

Abstract

The A-type proanthocyanidin, epigallocatechin-(2beta-->7,4beta-->8)-epicatechin, together with the known epicatechin, luteolin 3'beta-D-glucopyranoside, chrysoeriol 7beta-D-glucopyranoside and 2-methylpentan-2,4-diol, were isolated from leaves of Dioclea lasiophilla. The structures were established on the basis of their spectral data. Antioxidant activities of isolates were measured using the autooxidation of beta-carotene in a linolenic acid suspension method.
