Phytochemical studies on the whole extract of Sedum hybridum L., a Mongolian medicinal plant, has been undertaken to isolate active principles responsible for its anti-oxidative and antibacterial activities. Eighteen known compounds, i.e. (1) quercetin, (2) kaempferol, (3) herbacetin-8-O-β-D-xylopyranoside, (4) myricetin, (5) gossypetin-8-O-β-D-xylopyranoside, (6) gallic acid, (7) 2,4,6-tri-O-galloyl-D-glucopyranose, (8) 6-O-galloylarbutin, (9) myricetin-3-O-α-L-arabinofuranoside, (10) quercetin-3-O-α-L-arabinofuranoside, (11) caffeic acid, (12) ethylgallate, (13) (-) epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate, (14) palmitic acid, (15) stearic acid, (16) stearic acid ethyl ether, (17) β-sitosterol and (18) β-sitosteryl-O-β-D-glucopyranose have been isolated and their molecular structures identified by spectroscopic analysis. Thirteen substances including seven flavonol components (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 10), five gallic acid derivatives (6, 7, 8, 12 and 13) and caffeic acid (11) exhibited significant, dose-dependent, DPPH radical scavenging activity. Galloyl esters 12 and 13 were revealed to be main active principles for the antibacterial property of the extract of Sedum hybridum L.
