Abstract

A new unsaturated fatty acid (E)-7,9-diene-11-carbonyl stearic acid (1) and a new lignan 8′-acetyl olivil (2), together with 14 known compounds (3–16), were isolated from the stem of Urtica fissa E. Pritz. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and mass-spectrometric analyses. 8′-Acetyl olivil (2), (6 R,9R)-roseoside (15) and urticol-7-O-β-d-glucopyrannoside (16) exhibited significant inhibition on α-glucosidase activities, with IC50 values less than 9 μM.
