Tachioside (4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-phenyl-1-O-glucoside), a known phenolic glycoside, was isolated from various bamboo species. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity determined a significant antioxidant activity of tachioside which was comparable to L-ascorbic acid. Each culm and leaf extracts were tested and the culm of Phyllostachys bambusoides appeared to contain the highest amount of tachioside.

As a part of our ongoing program on finding biologically active components from natural source we found three known constituents from the EtOH extract of the wheat bran. The known compounds were identified as tachioside (1), pinellic acid (2) and tryptophan (3). The structure and relative stereochemistry were determined from MS, 1D and extensive 2D NMR techniques as well as by comparison of their data with the published values. All isolates were tested their inhibitory effects on the adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells. The effect of compounds from wheat bran on 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation were measured by Oil Red O staining. These results demonstrate that tachioside (1) and pinellic acid (2) decreased lipid content in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by inhibiting lipogenesis. These compounds had shown antiobesity activities.

Five lignan glycosides, seven megastigmane glycosides, and seven phenolic compounds were isolated by repeated column chromatography from the MeOH extract of Salsola komarovii. Their structures were determined to be lariciresinol-9-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (1), alangilignoside C (2), conicaoside (3), (+)-lyoniresinol 9'-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (4), (8S,8'R,7'R)-9'-[(${\beta}$-glucopyranosyl)oxy]lyoniresinol (5), blumenyl B ${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (6), blumenyl A ${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (7), staphylionoside D (8), icariside $B_2$ (9), (6R,9S)-3-oxo-${\alpha}$-ionol ${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (10), 3-oxo-${\alpha}$-ionol 9-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-apiofuranosyl-($1{\rightarrow}6$)-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (11), blumenol B 9-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-apiofuranosyl-($1{\rightarrow}6$)-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (12), benzyl 6-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-apiofuranosyl-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (13), canthoside C (14), tachioside (15), isotachioside (16), biophenol 2 (17), 2-(3,4-dihydroxy)-phenyl-ethyl-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (18), and cuneataside C (19) by spectroscopic methods. All the isolated compounds 1 - 19 were reported from this source for the first time. Compounds 2, 3 and 6 upregulated NGF secretion to $118.8{\pm}3.6%$, $128.2{\pm}9.3%$ and $111.1{\pm}7.1%$ without significant cell toxicity.

Phytochemical investigation of the 80% MeOH extract from the stems of Lagerstroemia indica resulted in the isolation of eighteen compounds; four norsesquiterpenes, fourteen phenolic derivatives. Their chemical structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods to be tachioside (1), isotachioside (2), 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl ${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (3), gallic acid 4-methyl ether (4), protocatechuic acid (5), gallic acid (6), vanillic acid (7), vanillin (8), 2-methoxy-5-hydroxymethyl-phenyl-1-O-(6"-galloyl)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (9), 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenol-1-O-${\beta}$-D-(6'-O-galloyl)-glucopyranoside (10), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl-1-O-(6'-O-galloyl)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (11), vomifoliol (12), vomifoliol 9-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (13), 6R,9R-3-oxo-${\alpha}$-ionol-9-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (14), dihydrophaseic acid 4'-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (15), ${\beta}$-hydroxypropiovanillone 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (16), myrciaphenone A (17), and coumaric acid (18). Compounds 1-5 and 7-18 were isolated for the first time from this plant. Compounds 1-18 were investigated for their antioxidant properties using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging capacity assay, $Fe^{2+}$ chelating, and FRAP assay. It was found that 4, 6, and 11 possessed the highest antioxidant capacities.
