One new 8-aryl flavone, podocarflavone A (1), together with 15 previously reported flavonoids were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Podocarpus macrophyllus . Their structures were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis and by the comparison with spectroscopic data reported in the literature. Antioxidant capacities of the isolated substances were determined using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, ferrous ions, and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical in vitro assays, and their cytoprotective activities were also tested on H ₂O ₂-induced apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes. The results showed that those flavonoids exhibited significant cardioprotective effects by decreasing the H ₂O ₂-induced death of H9c2 cell, and the levels of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase, and by inhibiting the elevated intracellular concentration of reactive oxygen species.
