Abstract
AbstractTwo new compounds (1–2) together with ten known compounds (3–12) were isolated for the first time from the 95 % EtOH extract of aerial parts of Itea omeiensis. Their structures were elucidated based on extensive spectroscopic analyses and comparison with published data. The structure of 1 was further confirmed through single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis, and circular dichroism (CD) spectrum in combination with acid hydrolysis was employed for the absolute configuration determination of 2. Compound 1 was the first 2‐arylbenzo[b]furan with an extra six‐membered lactone ring from Itea plants. Anti‐oxidant assays indicated that compound 1 possessed significant radical scavenging effects on 1,1‐Diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′‐Azino‐bis(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid) (ABTS⋅+) with IC50 values of 0.14 and 0.06 mg/mL, respectively, which were comparable to the positive control of ascorbic acid. However, no obvious anti‐hepatocellular carcinoma activity was observed for compounds 1 and 2.
