Abstract
(+)-Dehydrovomifoliol (1), 3-hydroxy-5α,6α-epoxy-β-ionone (2), vitexin 7-O-β-D-glucopyrano-side (3), and vitexin 2″-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4) were isolated as new constituents from the aerial parts ofBeta vulgaris var.cicla. Compounds3 and4 demonstrated hepatoprotective activity with values of 65.8 and 56.1%, respectively, in primary cultured rat hepatocytes with CCI4-induced cell toxicity, compared to controls. This was comparable to that of silibinin (69.8 %) which was used as a positive control.
