Jatropha curcas L. has been cultivated in many countries for biodiesel production, and defatted kernel is generated in huge quantities as a by-product in the production. This study investigated the phenolic content and antioxidative activity of the defatted kernel of Jatropha. Four extracts, EtOAc-organic, EtOAc-water, MeOH-organic, and MeOH-water fractions, were tested for phenolic content and antioxidative activity using the Folin-Ciocalteu method and the DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method, respectively. The MeOH-organic fraction showed a high content of phenolic compounds and exhibited a relatively strong antioxidative activity. Eight compounds were isolated from the MeOH-organic fraction, and identified as a catechol-type lignan (3,3'- bisdemethylpinoresinol), five neolignans (isoamericanol A, americanol A, 9'-O-methylisoamericanol A, 9'-O-methylamericanol A, and isoamericanin A), and two sesquineolignans (isoprincepin, princepin). The antioxidative activities of 3,3'-bisdemethylpinoresinol (IC50: 16.0 mu Ie), isoprincepin (9.12 mu Ie), and princepin (11.7 mu Ie), which have two catechol groups were higher than that of Trolox (21.5 mu Ie). The isoamericanol A inhibited the oxidation of biodiesel. These results indicate that the defatted kernel of Jatropha is a source of natural antioxidants that would applicable for stabilizers in Jatropha biodiesel industries.
