title: Phenolic compounds with cell protective activity from the fruits of Livistona chinensis.
abstract: Two new depsidones, livistones A (1) and B (2), and a new benzofurane, livistone C (3), together with the 11 known compounds including three stilbenes (4-6), four steroids, three flavan-3-ols, and an alkaloid were isolated from the fruits of Livistona chinensis. The structures of the new compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods. Compounds 1, 4-6 exhibited remarkable cell protective activities against H(2)O(2)-induced SH-SY5Y cell damage.
