[Methods] Column chromatography,such as silica gel,Sephadex LH-20 and preparative HPLC were used to isolate and purify the compounds. Spectroscopic methods like MS,1H NMR and^(13)C NMR and physical constants were used to elucidate their structure. [Results]Ninteen compounds were isolated from 95% ethanol extracts of Pilea sinofasciata C. J. Chen,including α-tocopherol(1),stigmasterol(2),epihernandulcin(3),hernandulcin(4),benzoic acid(5),ethyl linolenate(6),ethyl hexadecanoate(7),α-amyrin(8),palmitic acid(9),behenic acid(10),adenosine(11),indole-3-carboxylic acid(12),protocatechuate(13),gallic acid(14),betulinic acid(15),oleanolic acid(16),potassium nitrate(17),diosmetin7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside( 18),3-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl oleanolic acid(19).

Six phenolic compounds namely,quercetin-3-O-rutinoside(1),3-O-caffeoylquinic acid(2),luteolin-7-O-glucoside(3),apigenin-7-O-rutinoside(4),apigenin-7-O-b-D-glucopyranoside(5)and quercetin(6)were isolated from the whole...Six phenolic compounds namely,quercetin-3-O-rutinoside(1),3-O-caffeoylquinic acid(2),luteolin-7-O-glucoside(3),apigenin-7-O-rutinoside(4),apigenin-7-O-b-D-glucopyranoside(5)and quercetin(6)were isolated from the whole plant of Pilea microphylla using conventional opensilica gel column chromatography and preparative HPLC.Further,these compounds were characterized by 1D,2D NMR techniques and high-resolution LC–MS.Compounds 1–3 and 6 exhibited significant antioxidant potential in scavenging free radicals such as DPPH,ABTS and SOD with IC_(50) of 3.3–20.4 mmol/L.The same compounds also prevented lipid peroxidation with IC_(50) of 10.4–32.2 mmol/L.The compounds also significantly prevented the Fenton reagent-induced calf thymus DNA damage.Pre-treatment with compounds 1–3 and 6 in V79 cells attenuated radiation-induced formation of reactive oxygen species,lipid peroxidation,cytotoxicity and DNA damage,correlating the antioxidant activity of polyphenols with their radioprotective effects.Compounds 1,3 and 6 significantly inhibited lipid peroxidation,presumably due to 30,40-catechol ortho-dihydroxy moiety in the B-ring,which has a strong affinity for phospholipid membranes.Oxidation of flavonoids,with catechol structure on B-ring,yields a fairly stable ortho-semiquinone radical by facilitating electron delocalization,which is involved in antioxidant mechanism.Hence,the flavonoid structure,number and location of hydroxyl groups together determine the antioxidant and radioprotection mechanism.展开更多
