title: Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of the plastoquinone derivatives isolated from Roldana barba-johannis.
abstract: A phytochemical study of Roldana barba-johannis afforded two triterpenic esters, an eremophilanolide and three compounds structurally related to the antioxidants vitamin E and plastoquinone. Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of sargahydroquinoic acid, sargachromenol, their mixture, and their methyl esters showed that most of them are antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents.
