Abstract
The CH2Cl2/CH3OH (1/1) extract of the stem bark of Terminalia superba afforded two compounds, (7S,8R,7â²R,8â²S)-4â²-hydroxy-4-methoxy-7,7â²-epoxylignan 1 and meso-(rel 7S,8R,7â²R,8â²S)-4,4â²-dimethoxy-7,7â²-epoxylignan 2. All the isolated compounds were evaluated for their glycosidase inhibition activities. Gallic acid and methylgallate showed significant α-glucosidase inhibition activity.
