Abstract
A new unique isoflavone derivatives with a cyclic-monoterpene-substituent, ficusin C (1), together with five known compounds (2–6), were isolated from the rhizomes of Ficus tikoua. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data interpretation, mass spectrometric analysis and comparison with literature data of related compounds. Antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of these compounds were evaluated by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging assay and α-glucosidase inhibitory experiment, respectively.
