Abstract:
Psidium guajava Linn. is an evergreen shrub or small tree of
Psidium Linnaeus in the Myrtaceae family. One new glycoside (
1) together with 3 known meroterpenoids (
2-
4) and 9 known glycosides (
5-
13) were isolated from the fruits of
Psidium guajava Linn.. The structure of the new compound was elucidated by the spectroscopic data analysis of HR-ESIMS, 1D- and 2D-NMR, and it was named psiguaoside A (
1). The known compounds were identified as guajadial (
2), 4, 5-diepipsidial A (
3), psidial A (
4), chrysin-8-
C-β-D-glucoside (
5), 2, 6-dihydroxy-3, 5-dimethyl-4-
O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-benzophenone (
6), quercetin-3-
O-
β-
D-glucopyranoside (
7), quercetin-3-
O-xyloside (
8), guaijaverin (
9), avicularin (
10), guavinoside E (
11), guavinoside B (
12), guajaphenone A (
13). In the bioactivity assay, compound
3 exhibited significant inhibitory activitiy of U87 with IC
50 values of 8.379 μmol·L
-1.
