Abstract

Novel alkylphenols, ardisiphenols A-C (1-3) and a novel bergenin derivative, demethoxybergenin (10) were isolated from the fruits of Ardisia colorata (Myrsinaceae), together with known alkylresorcinols (4-6), embelin (7), myricetin (8), quercetin (9), bergenin (11), norbergenin (12), kaempferol (13), quercetin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (14) and gallic acid (15). Their structures were determined by NMR, MS(/MS) analyses and other spectroscopic methods. Ardisiphenols showed moderate scavenging activities toward 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals and showed cytotoxicity against the murine breast cancer cell line, FM3A.
