Abstract

A new benzenoid, propyl 7-methoxybenzo[d][1,3]dioxole-5-carboxylate (1), has been isolated from the stems of Capparis acutifolia, together with five known compounds, rutin (2), 3β-hydroxystigmast-5-en-7-one (3), 6 -hydroxystigmast-4-en-3-one (4), sitosterol trans-ferulate (5), and sitosterol cis-ferulate (6). The structure of the new compound 1 was determined through spectroscopic and MS analyses. Rutin (2) exhibited potent inhibition, with IC50 value of 1.26±0.15µg/mL, against formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (fMLP)-induced superoxide anion (O2·-) generation.
