文摘Objective:To investigate antioxidant potential of methanol extract of Alpinia nigra leaves.Methods:The study was done by using various in vitro methods such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH),2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)(ABTS),nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging assays.Phytochemical constituents,total phenolic content and total flavonoid content of the extract at different concentrations(10-500μg/mL)were determined.Results:Alpinia nigra leaves showed high free radical scavenging activity as evidenced by the low IG_(50)values in DPPH(64.51μg/mL),in ABTS(28.32μg/mL),in nitric oxide(80.02μg/mL)and in H_2O_2(77.45μg/mL)scavenging assays.Furthermore the TPC and TFC of the extract were found to be 69.25 mg gallic acid equivalent per gram of extract and 78.84 mg quercetin equivalent per gram of extract respectively.Conclusions:The results of present comprehensive analysis demonstrated that Alpinia nigra leaves possess high phenolic,flavonoid contents and potential antioxidant activity,and could be used as a viable source of natural antioxidants and might be exploited for functional foods and neutraceutical applications.

文摘Four previously unreported diarylheptanoids(1a/1b-2a/2b),one undescribed sesquiterpenoid(8),one new diterpenoid(12),and twelve known analogs were isolated from the fruits of Alpinia oxyphylla.The structural elucidation of these compounds was achieved through a comprehensive analysis of spectroscopic data,single-crystal X-ray diffraction,electronic circular dichroism(ECD),and modified Mosher's method.Enantiomeric mixtures(1a/1b,2a/2b,3a/3b,4a/4b,and 5a/5b)were separated on a chiral column using acetonitrile-water mixtures as eluents.Among them,compounds 3a/3b and 4a/4b were isolated as optically pure enantiomers in the initial chiral separation.Furthermore,most of the isolates were evaluated for their inhibitory effects against the production of nitric oxide(NO)and interleukin-6(IL-6)in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced RAW264.7 macrophages.Interestingly,2 and 4 showed significant inhibitory activities against NO production with IC50 values of 33.65 and 9.88μmol·L^(-1)(hydrocortisone:IC_(50)34.26μmol·L^(-1)),respectively.Additionally,they also partially reduced the secretion of IL-6.
