          Abstract

          In recent years, great attention has been given to the search for natural compounds or extracts with the purpose of medical use. Evolvulus alsinoides L. (Convolvulaceae) is a plant used in traditional medicine of East Asia in many indications and has known nootropic and anti-inflammatory activity. However, the bioactive constituents have been described poorly in the literature. Four substances isolated from the ethanol extract of E. alsinoides by means of polyamide and Silica-gel chromatography are reported here. Their molecular structures were determined using NMR analyses. There were identified as scopoletin, umbelliferone, scopolin and 2-methyl-1,2,3,4-butanetetrol. The quantity of these substances was determined using HPLC-UV and GC-FID detection. Antioxidant activity of the isolated substances was measured by DPPH assay using the SIA method. Antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of the prepared fractions are also described. The prepared fractions and isolated substances did not exhibit any significant activity in DPPH test.
