The methanol (MeOH) extract of Populus ussuriensis Kom. bark was analyzed for antioxidant assessing by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging potential. Among fractions using several solvents, the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) soluble fraction, which showed strong antioxidant activity (IC50 2.02 +/- A 0.01 mu g/ml), was further purified by Thin layer chromatography (TLC) guided Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Three known phenolic glucosides, picein (I), salicortin (II), grandidentatin (III), and that of a new, 2-hydroxycyclohexyl-4'-O-p-coumaroyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside (isograndidentatin A), were isolated and their structures were elucidated on the basis of physiochemical and spectroscopic methods. This was the first report of the chemical composition of P. ussuriensis bark. Phenolic glucosides III and IV exhibited strong antioxidant activities, with IC50 values 6.73 +/- A 0.01 and 6.69 +/- A 0.01 A mu M, respectively, comparable to the control (alpha-tocopherol, IC50 6.80 +/- A 0.01 A mu M). P. ussuriensis bark EtOAc-soluble fraction and compounds III and IV could be used as biopreservatives in food applications as well as for cosmetic and medicinal preparations, to alleviate oxidative stress.
