Chemical characterization and biological activity in young sesame leaves (Sesamum indicum L.) and changes in iridoid and polyphenol content at different growth stages.

ABSTRACT: Three iridoids (lamalbid (I1), sesamoside (I2) and shanzhiside methyl ester (I3)) and seven polyphenols (cistanoside F (P1), chlorogenic acid (P2), pedalitin-6-O-laminaribioside (P3), pedaliin (P4), isoacteoside (P6), pedalitin (P7) and martynoside (P8)) were identified in young sesame leaves (Sesamum indicum L.) other than the acteoside (P5) reported previously. P3 was a new compound, and I1, I3, P2 and P8 were found in a species of Sesamum for the first time. HPLC analyses revealed that the compounds I1 (0.29-1.75% of dry leaves), I2 (0.38-0.87%), I3 (0.04-1.07%), P4 (0.01-2.05%) and P5 (0.13-4.86%) were present primarily in young sesame leaves and were found in plants cultivated on different farms (plant height, 30-70 cm). Of the identified compounds, P5 and P6 showed high 1,1-diphenyl-
