Abstract
Seven antioxidative serotonin derivatives were isolated from safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) oil cake. Their structures were established as N-[2-(5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]ferulamide (1), N-[2-(5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]-p-coumaramide (2), N,N'-[2,2'-(5,5'-dihydroxy-4,4'-bi-1H-indol-3,3'-yl)diethyl]- di-p-coumaramide (3), N-[2-[3'-[2-(p-coumaramido)ethyl]-5,5'-dihydroxy- 4,4'-bi-1H-indol-3-yl]ethyl]ferulamide (4), and N,N'-[2,2'-(5,5'-dihydroxy-4,4'-bi-1H-indol-3,3'-yl)diethyl]- diferulamide (5), N-[2-[5-(beta-D-glucosyloxy)-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]- p-coumaramide (6), and N-[2-[5-(beta-D-glucosyloxy)-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]ferulamide (7). Antioxidative activities of the compounds were measured by the ferric thiocyanate method and the alpha,alpha-diphenyl-beta-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method, and compounds 1-5 were found to have relatively strong antioxidative activity.Entities:
