Abstract

A new fatty acid ester (1) and seven known phenolic compounds, i.e. salfredin B11 (2), nigephenol C (3), nigephenol B (4), acetovanillion (5), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (6), p-hydroxy-acetophenone (7) and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (8), were isolated from the seeds of Nigella sativa var. hispidula. Among them, compounds 5, 7 and 8 were isolated from Nigella for the first time. Their structures were elucidated with HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectra. Evaluation of the isolated compounds on protein tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP1B) assay indicated that although compounds 2-8 show no promising anti-PTP1B activities, compound 1 possess anti-PTP1B activity with an IC50 value of 7.38 ± 0.14 μM in vitro.

Keywords
