In this study, a purification of the EtOAc crude extract of Dendrobium signatum Rchb.f. aerial parts was performed fifteen compounds (1-15) and the hexane crude extracts of Magnolia liliiferra (L.) Baill. were further isolated to accomplish three compounds (16-18). They yielded one new picrotoxane sesquiterpene, 7-hydroxydendroterpene B (2) and a new a-pyrone, (-)-6R-signatone (4), along with sixteen known compounds. These included dendroxine (1), crystallinin (3), dendrocandin B (5), dendrocandin I (6), 6''-de-O-methyldendrofindlaphenol A (7), p-hydroxyphenylethyl-p-coumarate (8), 3,4-dihydroxy-5,4'-dimethoxybibenzyl (9), 3-methoxy-5-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl) ethyl]phenol (10), 4,4'-dihydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybibenzyl (11), naringenin (12), (2S)-homoeridodictyol (13), (2S)-homohesperetin (14), (-)-syringaresinol (15), (+) sesamin (16), (+) fargesin (17) and (-) kobusin (18). Their structures of new compounds were elucidated through by analysis of spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, whereas those of the known ones were identified by comparison of their data in the literature. Afterward, all the extracted isolated compounds were evaluated for antioxidant activity using the DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging assay. The results showed that the new (-)-6R-signatone 4 exhibited very promising ABTS scavenging activity with IC50 of 0.71 ± 0.01 µM in comparison with a positive control Trolox® (IC50 of 27.26 ± 0.33 µM). Furthermore, the dimer bibenzyls (5-7) along with compounds 3. 4, 8, 9 and 17 were promising to inhibit the lipid peroxidation in range (53-70 %) in the vital model at concentration 5 µM. For the anti-inflammatory activity, among all the compounds, it was found that lignans, (-) kobusin 18 (IC50 of 4.72 ± 0.17 µM) significantly enhanced the NO production inhibition activity. Similarly, phenylpropanoids, p-hydroxyphenylethyl-p-coumarate 8 also displayed the high potent inhibition with IC50 of 6.18 ± 0.50 µM as compared to the standard indomethacin (IC50 of 28.42 ± 3.51 µM).
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.
