title: Chemical constituents of the style of Zea mays L. with glycation inhibitory activity.
abstract: A new sesquiterpene along with 15 known compounds were isolated from the style of Zea mays L. These structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. The ability of these compounds to inhibit glycation in vitro was analyzed. This allowed determination of chemical functional groups required for the inhibition of glycation.
