Polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols from Hypericum scabrum

Phytochemistry. 2017 Oct:142:38-50. doi: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2017.06.011. Epub 2017 Jul 1.

Abstract

Fourteen phloroglucinols, named hyperciumoxide A-N, and a known compound were isolated from air-dried aerial parts of Hypericum scabrum. The structures of these compounds were deduced on the basis of extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments. Hepatoprotective properties against D-galactosamine-induced HL-7702 cell damage of isolated compounds were evaluated. Meanwhile, these compounds were also tested for antidepressant activity by inhibiting reuptake of tritiated serotonin ([3H]-5-HT) and Noradrenalinet ([3H]-NE) in rat brain synaptosomes.

Keywords: Antidepressive; Biosynthesis; Hepatoprotective; Hypericaceae; Hypericum scabrum; PPAPs.
