비파 씨를 MeOH로 침지 추출하여 얻어진 추출물을 n-hexane, EtOAc, n-BuOH 및 로 용매 분획하였다. 이중 tyrosinase, DPPH 및 SOD 활성이 상대적으로 높은 EtOAc 분획에 대해 column chromatography를 이용하여 6개의 페놀성 화합물을 분리하였다. 각 화합물의 화학구조는 NMR 스펙트럼 데이터 해석 및 표품과의 HPLC 직접 비교를 통하여 benzaldehyde (1), chlorogenic ac
Activity-guided isolation from the ethylacetate (EtOAc)-soluble portion of a methanolic extract of the seeds of Eriobotrya japonica, using several bioassays, led to the isolation and identification of six phenolic compounds of previously known structure: benzaldehyde (1), chlorogenic acid (2), caffeic acid (3), benzoic acid (4), ferulic acid (5), and amygdalin (6). Of these, benzaldehyde (1) exhibited tyrosinase inhibitory activity in a bioassay. In addition, chlorogenic acid (2) and caffeic acid (3) were found to have strong antioxidative effects on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity.
