A tannin compound has been isolated from the underground part of Rosa rugosa Thunb. and its structure has been established to be methyl gallate $3-O-{\beta}-D-(6'-O-galloyl)-glucopyranoside(1)$ on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidences. This compound was the first example in this plant.

The ethyl acetate (EtOAc) layer of Canavalia gladiata (sword bean) methanol extracts showed higher 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity than other layers. Four phenolic compounds were isolated from the EtOAc layer by silica gel column chromatography and prep-HPLC using a guided DPPH radical-scavenging assay. The isolated compounds were identified as methyl gallate (1), gallic acid (2), 1,6-di-O-galloyl ${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (3), and 1,4,6-tri-O-galloyl ${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (4) based on MS and NMR analyses. Among the four compounds, no. 4 was isolated from this plant for the first time. Their DPPH radical-scavenging activities based on $SC_{50}$ decreased in the following order: 4 (6.9 ${\mu}M$)>3 (8.3 ${\mu}M$)>2 (10.0 ${\mu}M$)>1 (10.3 ${\mu}M$).

Twelve compounds with lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity were isolated from the stem bark of E. globulus. Their structures were assigned as a new aromatic monoterpene (1) and eleven known compounds, pinoresinol (2), vomifoliol (3), 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenol 1-O-$\beta$-D-(6'-O-galloyl)glucopyranoside (4), methyl gallate (5), rhamnazin (6), rhamnetin (7), eriodictyol (8), quercetin (9), taxifolin (10), engelitin (11), and catechin (12) on the basis of UV, mass, and NMR spectroscopic analyses. These compounds except vomifoliol significantly inhibited lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsome.
