New benzophenone O-glucoside from Hypericum ellipticum

Nat Prod Commun. 2009 Apr;4(4):507-10.

Abstract

Examination of the acetone extract of the aerial parts of Hypericum ellipticum afforded a new acetylated benzophenone glucoside (3'-O-beta-D-3",4",6"-triacetylglucopyranosyl-2,4,5',6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone) together with catechin and epicatechin. The structure of the benzophenone glucoside was determined by 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The compound inhibited the proliferation of CNS tumor cell line (SF-268) and lipid peroxidation in in vitro assays.
