Abstract

The hydroalcoholic extract of leaves and twigs of Lindera neesiana (Wall. ex Nees) Kurz (Lauraceae) was subjected to various column chromatographic methods that isolated five kaempferol glycosides: kaempferol 3-O-β-glucopyranosyl(1→2)-[α-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)]-β- glucopyranoside-7-O-α-rhamnopyranoside (1); kaempferol 3-O-β-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-[α-rhamnopyranosyl (1→6)]-β-glucopyranoside (2); kaempferol 3-O-β-glucopyranosyl(1→2)- α-rhamnopyranoside-7-O-α-rhamnopyranoside (3); kaempferol 3-O-sophoroside (4); and kaempferol 3-O-α-rhamnopyranoside (5). The extract showed moderate free radical scavenging activity and potent pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity.

Highlights

  • The genus Lindera (Family: Lauraceae) consists of about 100 species widely distributed in tropical, subtropical, and temperate zones of Asia and Midwestern America [1]

  • In this study, we aimed for the isolation and identification of chemical constituents and the evaluation of free radical scavenging and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities of the extract and compounds

  • Chemical shifts are given in ppm with reference to tetramethyl silane (TMS)

Summary

Introduction

The genus Lindera (Family: Lauraceae) consists of about 100 species widely distributed in tropical, subtropical, and temperate zones of Asia and Midwestern America [1]. Lindera plants and isolated compounds have been studied for different biological activities including cytotoxic [9,10], anti-inflammatory [11,12], anti-hypertensive [13], hepatoprotective [14], and antioxidant activities [15,16]. We isolated several flavonoids from the leaves and twigs of Lindera sericea, which is widely used as a herbal tea in Japan, and evaluated its free radical scavenging and enzyme inhibitory activities [20]. In this study, we aimed for the isolation and identification of chemical constituents and the evaluation of free radical scavenging and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities of the extract and compounds
