Abstract

Four compounds, (+)-catechin (1), (-)-epicatechin (2), myricitrin (3), and hinokiflavone (4), were isolated from the needles of Juniperus occidentalis Hook. The structures of the isolated compounds were established by NMR and MS spectrometer. The antioxidant activity of the isolated compounds was determined by measuring free radical scavenging activity with DPPH and the results indicated that compound 1, 2, and 3 showed better activity than the controls, while compound 4 had weak activity compared with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, BHT, and curcumin.

향나무 잎을 채취하여 분쇄한 후 MeOH로 추출하고 분획한 다음 EtOAc 및 수용성 화합물을 칼럼크로마토그래피법을 사용하여 4개의 화합물 (+)-catechin (1), (-)-epicatechin (2), myricitrin (3) 및 hinokiflavone (4)을 단리하였다. 단리 화합물은 NMR 및 질량분석기를 사용하여 그 구조를 구명하였으며 DPPH radical 소거법을 이용하여 항산화 활성 검정을 시행하였다. 4가지 화합물 모두 우수한 활성을 보였으며 화합물 1, 2 및 3은 대조구로 사용한 ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, BHT 및 curcumin 보다 우수하였으나 화합물 4는 대조구보다 약간 낮은 활성을 나타내었다.
