Popis: Two new flavane gallates were isolated from the leaves of Plicosepalus curviflorus. The structure of the new compounds was established as 2S,3R-3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavane-5-O-gallate (1) and 2S,3R-3,3',4',5,5',7-hexahydroxyflavane-4',5-di-O-gallate (2), respectively. In addition, seven known compounds (-)-catechin (3), quercetin (4), lupeol (5), β-sitosterol (6), pomolic acid (7), β-sitosterol 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (8) and 4-methoxycinnamic acid (9) were reported for the first time from the genus Plicosepalus. Compounds 1, 2 and 3 were investigated for their hypoglycemic activity and showed significant hypoglycemic activity in Swiss Albino mice.
