Wg. Kim et al., NEW INDOLE-DERIVATIVES WITH FREE-RADICAL SCAVENGING ACTIVITY FROM AGROCYBE-CYLINDRACEA, Journal of natural products, 60(7), 1997, pp. 721-723
Two new indole derivatives were isolated as free radical scavengers fr
om the MeOH extract of Agrocybe cylindracea. The structures of these c
ompounds were determined to be 6-hydroxy-1H-indole-3-carboxaldehyde (1
) and 6-hydroxy-1H-indole-3-acetamide (2) on the basis of spectroscopi
c studies. Compounds 1 and 2 inhibited lipid peroxidation in rat liver
microsomes, with IC50 values of 4.1 and 3.9 mu g/mL, respectively.
