Six constituents (1-6) were isolated from EtOAc-soluble partitions of two separate collections of the whole plants of Cotinus coggygria, namely, disulfuretin ¿2,2'-[1,2-bis(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-1, 2-ethanedylidene]bis[6-hydroxy-3(2H)-benzofuranone] (1)¿, sulfuretin (2), sulfurein (3), gallic acid (4), methyl gallate (5), and pentagalloyl glucose (6). The structure of the novel biaurone 1 was determined by spectral and chemical methods. Compounds 1-6 were found to be potent antioxidants in a 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free-radical scavenging assay.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
