Alatemin, cassiaside and rubrofusarin gentiobioside, radical scavenging principles from the seeds ofCassia tora on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical

Abstract
Radical scavenging principles of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical were isolated from the seedsCassia tora L. Assignments of the1H- and13C-NMR data showed the active components to be an anthraquinone, alaternin and two naphthopyrone glycosides, nor-rubrofusarin-6-β-D-glucoside (cassiaside) and rubrofusarin-6-D-gentiobioside. Alaternin showed more potent radical scavenging, effect than the others.
