Abstract

A new phenylethanoid, hebitol IV (1), along with fifteen known glycosides (2-16), were isolated from water extract of the flower buds of Buddleja officinalis. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1 D-NMR, 2 D-NMR and MS data. Molecular docking showed the potential activities of the natural products against VEGFR-2. Bioassay results revealed that the compounds 10 and 14 exhibited strong inhibitory activity against VEGFR-2 with IC50 values of 0.51 and 0.32 μM, respectively. Moreover, the potential retinal protective effects of 10 and 14 were then investigated in the mouse model featuring bright light-induced retinal degeneration. The results demonstrated remarkable photoreceptor protective activities of 10 and 14 in vivo.
