Two new tetralone derivatives, named cyclopalosides A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus by column chromatography on silica gel, reversed-phase C18 silica gel and preparative HPLC. Their chemical structures were established on the basis of extensive analyses of spectroscopic data. Their structural characteristic is tetralone glycoside with a caffeoyl unit. The antioxidant activities of compound 1 were evaluated by using hydroxyl, superoxide anion, and DPPH radical scavenging assay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Five caffeoyl phenylethanoid glycosides, including two new ones linderruelliosides A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the leaves and stems of Lindernia ruellioides. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods, including extensive NMR and MS spectra. In addition, all these compounds were tested for their anti-HBV activity. Compounds 1, 3, and 4 showed anti-HBV activities, with IC50 values of 54.87, 30.74, and 69.02 μM for HBsAg and 26.70, 5.17, and 7.08 μM for HBeAg, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
