摘要：To evaluate active principles for diabetic complications from the black bamboo leaves, Phyllostachys nigra , eight compounds were isolated and tested for their effects on rat lens aldose reductase and advanced glycation endproducts. As a result, luteolin 6- C -(6″- O - trans -caffeoylglucoside) was found to show a strong aldose reductase and advanced glycation endproducts inhibition. This compound showed antioxidative activity measured in Photochem® apparatus. It is concluded, therefore, that luteolin 6- C -(6″- O - trans -caffeoylglucoside) (6), a flavone of this plant, have antioxidative as well as aldose reductase and advanced glycation endproducts inhibitory effects. As a result, this compound could be offered as a leading compound for further study as a new natural products drug for diabetic complications.
