Phenolic compounds of the Australian native herb Prostanthera rotundifolia and their biological activities
2017
The chemical identity and bioactivities of phenolic components of the Australian native herb Prostanthera rotundifolia were studied. Phenolic compounds were extracted with 80% (v/v) aqueous methanol and purified by liquid chromatography. The antioxidant capacity of the extract and its inhibiting activity against α-glucosidase, pancreatic lipase and hyaluronidase were determined. Phenolic compounds were identified by a combination of HPLC-PDA, LC-high resolution MS (LC-HRMS), LC-tandem MS (LC–MS/MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Compared to spearmint, mint bush showed comparable antioxidant capacity, stronger inhibitory activity on pancreatic lipase and comparable and lower activity on α-glucosidase and hyaluronidase, respectively. Major compounds identified were verbascoside (48.8%), 4-methoxycinnamic acid (36.4%), p-coumaric acid glucose ester (9.2%) and 1-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl sinapate (5.6%), while caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, hesperidin and naringenin were present in trace quantities. 4-Methoxycinnamic acid, p-coumaric acid glucose ester and 1-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl sinapate were identified for the first time in the genus of Prostanthera.
