From the whole plant of Sarcandra glabra, a new phenolic acid glycoside, benzyl 2-β-glucopyranosyloxybenzoate (1), together with seven known compounds including eleutheroside B₁ (2), 5-O-caffeoylshikimic acid (3), (-)-(7S, 8R)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (4), (-)-(7S, 8R)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 9-, 9′- and 4-O-α-D-glucopyranoside (5-7), and (-)-(7S, 8R)-5-methoxydihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (8) was isolated. Their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis including 1D-, 2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS. Compound 2 was found to exhibit potent cytotoxic activity against BGC-823 and A2780 cancer cell lines using MTT method with IC₅₀ value of 2.53 and 1.85 μM, respectively.
