By various chromatographic separations, four phenolic glycosides, methyl salicylate 2-O-triglycoside (1), icariside E5 (2), quercetin 3-O-rutinoside (3), and isorhamnetin 3-O-rutinoside (4) were isolated from the methanol extract of the whole plant of Physalis angulata. Their structures were determined by 1D-, 2D-NMR spectroscopic analyses and in comparison with the reported data. Compounds 3 exhibited significantly hepatoprotective activity with an EC50 value of 17.08 µg/mL. This is the first report of 1-4 from Physalis angulata.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
