Benzyl 2-β-Glucopyranosyloxybenzoate, a New Phenolic Acid Glycoside from Sarcandra glabra

From the whole plant of Sarcandra glabra, a new phenolic acid glycoside, benzyl 2-β-glucopyranosyloxybenzoate (1), together with seven known compounds including eleutheroside B(1) (2), 5-O-caffeoylshikimic acid (3), (–)-(7S, 8R)-dihydrodehydro-diconiferyl alcohol (4), (–)-(7S, 8R)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 9-, 9′- and 4-O-â-D-glucopyranoside (5–7), and (–)-(7S, 8R)-5-methoxydihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (8) was isolated. Their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis including 1D-, 2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS. Compound 2 was found to exhibit potent cytotoxic activity against BGC-823 and A2780 cancer cell lines using MTT method with IC(50) value of 2.53 and 1.85 µM, respectively.
