Abstract
Three new diarylheptanoids and one new monoterpenoid were isolated from the rhizomes of Zingiber officinale together with four known diarylheptanoids, 5-8. Their structures were elucidated mainly by spectroscopic methods, and they were deduced as 5-[4-hydroxy-6-(4-hydroxyphenethyl)tetrahydro-2 H-pyran-2-yl]-3-methoxybenzene-1,2-diol (1), sodium (E)-7-hydroxy-1,7-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)hept-5-ene-3 S-sulfonate (2), sodium (E)-7-hydroxy-1,7-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)hept-5-ene-3 R-sulfonate (3), and hydroxycineole-10-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), respectively. Among the isolated compounds, compounds 1, 5, and 8 exhibited strong superoxide anion radical scavenging activities in a phenazine methosulfate-NADH system. In a more biological system, these compounds were demonstrated to exhibit potent protection against lipid peroxidation in mouse liver microsomes exposed to oxidative conditions. These compounds were subsequently tested on primary cultures of rat hepatocytes exposed to oxidative damage, and definitive cytoprotective actions were found.
