Identification, Structure Elucidation, and Antioxidant Potential of a New Compound from Diospyros lotus

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

A new dimeric naphthoquinone, named 5,8,5 ′ -trihydroxy-8 ′ -methoxy-6,6 ′ -dimethyl-7,3-binaphthyl-1,4,1 ′ ,4 ′ -tetraone ( 1 ), was isolated from Diospyros lotus stem. The structure of the compound was elucidated by advance spectroscopic analysis including 1D and 2D experiments such as HMBC, NOESY, and J-resolved (JRES). Compound 1 was assessed for antioxidant activity, which showed good activity even at low concentration.
