Further secondary metabolites from Pimpinella kotschyana

β-Hydroxydihydrochalcone and flavonoid glycosides along with triterpene saponin and sesquiterpene from the herbs ofPimpinella rhodanthaBoiss.

“…The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods while the known compounds were identified as 3-hydroxy-p-phlorizin (Zemplen et al 1943) (3), quercetin-3-O-a-L-(2 00 ,3 00 -di-O-trans-coumaroyl)-rhamnopyranoside (4) (Demirezer et al 2012), apigenin-7-O-b-D-glucopyranoside (5) (Guvenalp et al 2009), protocatechuic acid anhydrite (6) (Termentzi et al 2009), dictamnol (7) (Zhao et al 2008 (Demirezer et al 2012), 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol (9) (Kitajima et al 2003) by comparison of their spectroscopic data with those reported in the literature (Figure 1). Among the known compounds, protocatechuic acid anhydrite was isolated from Apiaceae family for the first time.…”

“…Pharmacological activity studies revealed that some Pimpinella species have antifungal, antimalarial, antimicrobial, estrogenic (Baser et al 2007), antibacterial (Ates & Erdogrul 2003) and antioxidant (Gülc ın et al 2003;Güvenalp et al 2010) (Tabanca et al 2005), flavonoids (Kuruuzum-Uz et al 2010), terpenoids and steroids (Demirezer et al 2012).…”
