Chemical Constituents and their DPPH Radical Scavenging Activity of Nepalese Crude Drug Begonia picta
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vitexin (1), isovitexin (2), orientin (3), isoorientin (4) and 1,3dihydroxy6, 7dimethoxyxanthone (5) were isolated from the whole plant of Begonia picta, a Nepalese crude drug commonly known as “Magarkaanche”. Structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic methods. All of these compounds were isolated for the first time from B. picta and their in vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated by diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay. Compounds 3 and 4 showed significant free radical scavenging activity.

BACKGROUND Bee pollen is composed of floral pollen mixed with nectar and bee secretion that is collected by foraging honey (Apis sp.) and stingless bees. It is rich in nutrients, such as sugars, proteins, lipids, vitamins and flavonoids, and has been ascribed antiproliferative, anti-allergenic, anti-angiogenic and free radical scavenging activities. This research aimed at a preliminary investig...

Research works proposed that radical scavenging activity of flavonoids is due to ring B, andthe remaining part of the molecule can be disregarded. Thus the objective of this work is toobserve whether hydroxytoluenes account the radical scavenging activity of flavonoid and toestablish structural requirements for their activity (as they showed appreciable activity) andelucidate a comprehensive me...
