New phenolic compounds from Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt. and their antioxidant and angiotensin i-converting enzyme inhibitory activities.

Three new phenolic compounds, coretinphenol (1), coretincone (2), and coretinphencone (3), were isolated from the buds of Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt., together with nine known compounds, including butein (4), okanin (5), isoliquiritigenin (6), maritimetin (7), taxifolin (8), isookanin (9), marein (10), sachalinoside B (11), and 2-phenylethyl-β-d-glucoside (12). The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and on the basis of their chemical reactivity. This work represents the first recorded example of the isolation of compounds 1–3, 6, 7, 9, 11, and 12 from C. tinctoria. Compounds 5–9 showed strong diphenyl(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)iminoazanium (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity, with IC50 values of 3.35 ± 0.45, 9.6 ± 2.32, 4.12 ± 0.21, 6.2 ± 0.43, and 7.9 ± 0.53 μM, respectively. Compounds 2 and 8 exhibited angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 228 ± 4.47 and 145.67 ± 3.45 μM, respectively. The activities of phenolic compounds isolated from C. tinctoria support the medicinal use of this plant in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
