Abstract

Four flavonoids (1-4), a phenylethyl glycoside (5), and a phenylpropanoid glycoside (6) were isolated from the flowers of Buddleia officinalis (Loganiaceae). Their structures were determined by chemical and spectral analysis. Among the isolated compounds, luteolin (1) and acteoside (6) exhibited the most potent antioxidative activity on the NBT superoxide scavenging assay. In addition, compounds 1-6 revealed weak antifungal activity, and no hemolytic activity.
