Bioactive phenolic acid-substituted glycoses and glycosides from rhizomes of Cibotium barometz.

Two rarely phenolic acid-substituted alloses (1, 2) and one new glucoside (3), as well as nine known compounds (4–12) were isolated from rhizomes of Cibotium barometz (L.) J. Sm. Structures of 1–3 were established by extensively spectroscopic analyses (NMR, MS, etc.) and acid hydrolysis. All compounds were evaluated for the hepatoprotective activities against APAP-induced HepG2 cell damage. Compounds 1, 4–7, 10 exhibited significant hepatoprotective activities, even more strongly than positive control, bicycol. In addition, compounds 1 and 9 could reduce PC12 cell death induced by serum deprivation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
