Description
Summary:Seven previously undescribed prenylated <i>p</i>-hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives, oberoniaensiformisins A–G, were isolated from an EtOH extract of the whole plant <i>Oberonia ensiformis</i>. Their structures were determined through spectroscopic analyses (IR, NMR) and HRESIMS analysis. The isolated compounds were tested for their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and <i>α</i>-glucosidase-inhibitory activity. Among them, compounds <b>6</b> and <b>12</b> exhibited potential antioxidant activity, while compounds <b>5</b>, <b>6</b>, <b>12</b>, <b>13</b>, and <b>15</b> showed varying degrees of <i>α</i>-glucosidase-inhibitory activity, with IC<sub>50</sub> values ranging from 34.03 to 106.10 μg/mL.
