Abstract
The dichloromethane extract of the aerial part of the plant Vepris glomerata (Rutaceae) yielded a new flavonoid, which was accorded the trivial name veprisinol (1), together with four known furoquinoline alkaloids: haplopine-3,3'-dimethylallyl ether (2), anhydroevoxine (3), evoxine (4) and skimmianine (5). The structures of the compounds were established by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, as well as HREIMS. Compounds 1 and 2 have strong antioxidant potential, similar to and in some instances better than ascorbic acid and can be used as beneficial additives to antioxidant supplements.
