A new phenylethanoid glucoside from Jacaranda mimosifolia

This study reports the isolation of a new phenylethanoid glucoside (1) from the leaves of Jacaranda mimosifolia along with jacaranone (2), followed by the comparative estimation of total antioxidant compounds, total polyphenols and total flavonoids from different solvent extracts of the leaves and flowers. The total antioxidant activity was evaluated by both DPPH and ABTS free-radical scavenging assay methods from different solvent extracts of J. mimosifolia leaves and flowers. The antioxidant activities of the purified compounds (1 and 2) were detected by DPPH-TLC method.
