Lignans from Bupleurum marginatum and their antioxidant activity

A new aryltetralin lignan, bupleroid A (1), along with ten known analogues (2-11) were isolated from Bupleurum marginatum. The structures of these isolates were determined by 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, and ECD data analysis. In addition, the DPPH radical scavenging capacities of all compounds were evaluated. Compound 6 exhibited good DPPH radical scavenging activity at a concentration of 50 mu M.
