Abstract:
The chemical constituents of
Cydonia oblonga (Quince) seeds were investigated using chromatographic methods, including silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and semi-preparative-HPLC. Eleven compounds were isolated and their structures were elucidated on 1D or 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS. These analyses have lead to identification of 5,7-dihydroxy-2-
n-pentacosanyl chromen-4-one (
1), ursolic acid (
2), tormentic acid (
3), oleanolic acid (
4),
β-daucosterol (
5),
β-sitosterol (
6), amygdalin (
7), rutin (
8), kaempferol (
9), quercetin (
10) and isoquercitrin (
11). Among these, compound
1 is a new compound, and compounds
3,
5 were isolated from this plant for the first time. Compounds
1-
4 and
8 showed significant PTP1B inhibitory activities with IC
50 value of 0.465, 16.14, 28.96, 23.78 and 11.70 μmol·L
-1, respectively.
