Abstract

A novel polyphenolic compound named Polycommunin A (1) was discovered in the aerial part of the common haircap moss (Polýtrichum commune) widely spread in boreal and temperate climate zones. Aqueous ethanol and extraction of the plant material with further isolation of polyphenolic fraction and preparative HPLC separation allowed obtaining individual compound and identifying it as dimeric dihydrocinnamoyl bibenzyl by NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry. Polycommunin A demonstrated high in vitro antioxidant activity determined by FRAP and PCL assays and comparable to that of Trolox and Quercetin.
