Published: November 2013

From the ethyl acetate extract of the stems of Diospyros crassiflora Hiern, three new norbergenin derivatives, 4,11-di-O-galloylnorbergenin (1), 3-O-galloylnorbergenin (2), and 4-O-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxybenzoyl)-norbergenin (3), were isolated along with ten known compounds (4-13). Their structures were established by mean of spectroscopic techniques namely 1- and 2-D NMR experiments, mass spectrometry and comparison with reported data. Isolates 1-9 were evaluated for their ability to protect PC12 cells against hydrogen peroxide induced injury. Compounds with a galloyl group in their structure were found to prevent toxicity induced by H2O2 in PC12 cells.

Diospyros species (DS), "Ebenaceae," were known for their therapeutic uses in folk medicine since days of yore. Thereafter, scientific evidence related their health benefits to a myriad of chemical classes, for instance, naphthoquinones, flavonoids, tannins, coumarins, norbergenin derivatives, sterols, secoiridoids, sesquiterpenes, diterpenoids, triterpenoids, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and carotenoids. The available literature showed that more than 200 compounds were isolated and identified via spectroscopic techniques.
