Abstract

Isoflavones 4'-O-methylalpinumisoflavone (1) and 5, 7, 4'-trihydroxy-6,8-diprenylisoflavone (2) were isolated from stem bark of Cudrania tricuspidata (Carr.) Bureau. These compounds were the first reported from this plant. Antioxidant activities 1 and 2 were evaluated by measuring their ability to scavenge DPPH and ABTS radicals. Diprenylisoflavone 2 showed strong scavenging activity against ABTS ($IC_{50}\;=\;16.3\;{\mu}M$), three-fold higher compared to genistein, which do not possess prenylated group which indicates strong scavenging activity against ABTS radical of isoflavone 2 was due to prenyl group.
