Chemical constituents, in vitro antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of Perralderia coronopifolia Coss. subsp. eu-coronopifolia M. var. typica M. extract

Phytochemical investigations of extracts from the aerial parts (leaves and flowers) of Perralderia coronopifolia Cosson resulted in the isolation of nine secondary metabolites corresponding to three flavonoids: rhamnazin(1), chrysosplenol D (3), and (2R, 3R) taxifolin (4), two monoterpene glycosides : myrtenol- β-D-glucopyranoside- 6'-O-acetate (2) and myrtenol β-D-glucopyranoside (7), a disaccharide: sucrose (9) and three di-O-caffeoylquinic acid derivatives : methyl 3, 5-di-O-caffeoyl quinate (5 ) and methyl 3,4-di-O-caffeoyl quinate (6 ) as a mixture and 1,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (8). The structures were identified by spectroscopic methods such as ¹H and ¹³C NMR, COSY, HSQC and HMBC experiments, HRESI-MS and comparison with literature data. Myrtenol-β-D-glucopyranoside-6'-O-acetate (2) was isolated in pure and native state for the first time. The other compounds are new for the genus Perralderia Cosson. The ethyl acetate extract showed a high antioxidant effect, especially DPPH radical scavenging activity with IC50=7.01±0.28µg/mL) compared to ascorbic acid ( IC50= 5±0.1µg/mL . This extract also showed antiproliferative activity against HeLa (human cervix carcinoma) and C6 (rat brain tumor) cells.
