From the water-soluble portion of the methanol extract of stems of Ficus tikoua Bur., a new benzofuran glucoside, named 6-carboxyethyl-5-hydroxybenzofuran 5-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), together with one known benzofuran glucoside (2) were isolated. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D ((1)H-(1)H COSY, HMQC, and HMBC) NMR spectroscopy and HRMS techniques. The antioxidant activities of the isolated compounds were assayed based on the scavenging activities of DPPH free radical. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited moderate antioxidant activities, and the IC(50) values were 242.8 μg·mL(-1) and 324.9 μg·mL(-1), respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • Tianshu capsule (TSC) is a traditional Chinese medicine that shows promise in treating migraines, prompting a study to explore its compound effects and pharmacokinetics.
  • The research utilized advanced chromatography techniques to identify 46 compounds in blood and brain of rats after TSC administration, highlighting four key ingredients (Gastrodin, ferulic acid, senkyunolide G, and senkyunolide I).
  • Findings revealed that these compounds, especially senkyunolide I, quickly reached the brain and showed differences in absorption between healthy and migraine-affected rats, indicating a need for deeper investigation into TSC's therapeutic mechanisms.
