Abstract

Dried aerial parts of Tetragonia tetragonoides were extracted with 70% EtOH, and the evaporated residue was successively separated into EtOAc, n-BuOH, and H2O fractions. As a result of repeated SiO2, ODS, and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, four new 6-methoxyflavonol glycosides (2-4, 8) along with four known ones (1, 5-7) were isolated. Several spectroscopic data led to determination of chemical structures for four new 6-methoxyflavonol glycosides (2-4, 8) and four known ones, 6-methoxykaempferol 3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucopyranosyl-7-O-(6‴'-(E)-caffeoyl)-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), 6-methoxyquercetin (5), 6-methoxykaempferol (6), and 6-methoxykaempferol 7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (7). Methoxyflavonol glycosides 2-8 also have never been reported from T. tetragonoides in this study. 6-Methoxyflavonols 5 and 6 showed high radical scavenging potential in DPPH and ABTS test. Also, all compounds showed significant anti-inflammatory activities such as reduction of NO and PGE2 formation and suppression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, iNOS, and COX-2 expression in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. In general, the aglycones exhibited higher activity than the glycosides. In addition, quantitative analysis of 6-methoxyflavonols in the T. tetragonoides aerial parts extract was conducted through HPLC.
