Abstract
Phytochemical analyses of the chloroform extract of Piper betle L. var. Sanchi, Piperaceae, leaves led to the isolation of a new phenylpropanoid analogue for the first time: hydroxychavicol dimer, 2-(γ'-hydroxychavicol)-hydroxychavicol (S1), on the basis of spectroscopic data 1 D (1H and 13C) and 2 D (1H–1H COSY and HMBC) NMR, as well as ESI-MS, FT-IR, HR-ESI-MS and LC-ESI-MS. Compound S1 exhibited excellent antioxidant DPPH radical scavenging activity with IC50 values of 9.07 μg/mL, compared to ascorbic acid as a standard antioxidant drug with IC50 value of 3.41 μg/mL. Evaluation of cytotoxic activity against two human colon cancer cell lines (HT 29 and COLO-205) showed significant effect with GI50 values of 73.81 and 64.02 μmol/L, compared to Doxorubicin® as a standard cytotoxic drug with GI50 value of <10 μmol/L.
