Bioactive neolignan, iridoid and flavonoid glycosides from the leaves of Vaccinium bracteatum

J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2024 Jun;26(6):690-698. doi: 10.1080/10286020.2023.2299781. Epub 2024 Jan 8.

Abstract

Two neolignan glycosides including a new one (1), along with seven iridoid glycosides (3 - 9) and nine flavonoid glycosides (10 - 18), were isolated from the leaves of Vaccinium bracteatum. Their structures were established mainly on the basis of 1D/2D NMR and ESIMS analyses, as well as comparison to known compounds in the literature. The structure of 1 with absolute stereochemistry was also confirmed by chemical degradation and ECD calculation. Selective compounds showed antiradical activity against ABTS and/or DPPH. Moreover, several isolates also suppressed the production of ROS in RAW264.7 cells and exerted neuroprotective effect toward PC12 cells.

Keywords: Ericaceae; Vaccinium bracteatum; antioxidant activity; cell protective activity; flavonoid glycoside; iridoid glycoside; lignan glycoside.
