From the methanol extract of the Cardamine diphylla rhizome, methylethyl-(1), 2-methylbutyl-(2), 3-methylpentyl-(4), 3-indolylmethyl-(5), 1-methoxy-3-indolylmethyl-(6), 4-methoxy-3-indolylmethyl-(7) glucosinolates, and desulfo-2-methylbutylglucosinolate (3) were isolated. The structure elucidation of the compounds was performed by spectroscopic methods. The toxicity on brine shrimp larvae of the methanol extract of the C. diphylla rhizome was evaluated. In addition, the free-radical-scavenging activity of the crude extract was carried out by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay.
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.
