中文摘要：

Seven new 4-hydroxybenzyl-substituted amino acid derivatives（1-7）, together with 11 known compounds, were isolated from an aqueous extract of the rhizomes of Gastrodia elata Blume.Their structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods. Compounds 1-3 are pyroglutamate derivatives containing 4-hydroxybenzyl units at the N atom and 4-7 are the first examples of natural products with the 4-hydroxybenzyl unit linked via a thioether bond to 2-hydroxy-3-mercaptopropanoic acid（4-6） and 2-hydroxy-4-mercaptobutanoic acid（7）, which would be biogenetically derived from cysteine and homocysteine, respectively. The structures of 1 and 2 were verified by synthesis, while the absolute configurations of 4, 5 and 7 were assigned using Mosher’s method based on the MPA determination rule of ΔδRS values. The known compound 4-（hydroxymethyl）-5-nitrobenzene-1,2-diol（8） exhibited activity against Fe2+-cysteine induced rat liver microsomal lipid peroxidation with IC50 values of 9.99×10-6 mol/L.

Seven new 4-hydroxyben l-substituted amino acid derivatives (1-7), together with 11 known compounds, were isolated from an aqueous extract of the rhizomes of Go,arodia data Blume. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods. Compounds 1-3 are pyroglutamate derivatives containing 4-hydroxybenzyl units at the N atom and 4-7 are the first examples of natural products with the 4-hydroxybenzyl unit linked vici a thioether bond to 2-hydroxy-3mercaptopropanoic acid (4-6) and 2-hydroxy-4-mercaptobutanoic acid (7), which would be biogenetically derived from cysteine and homocysteine, respectively. The structures of 1 and 2 were verified hi synthesis, while the absolute configurations of 4, 5 and 7 were assigned using Mosher 's method based on the MPA determination rule of A5Rs values. The known compound 4-(hydroxymethy0-5-nifrobenzene1,2-diol (8) exhibited activity against Fe2 r--cysteine induced rat liver microsomal lipid peroxidation with 1050 values of 9.99 x 10 6 mon.
