Two new neolignan glucosides, saccharnan A (1 ) and saccharnan B (2 ), together with 10 known phenolics (3 -12 ) were isolated from desugared sugar cane extract (DSE); which is a sugar processing byproduct. Compounds 3 , 4 , 8 , and 12  were active against DPPH and ABTS+ radicals (IC50 = 51.57 �M). Compounds 7  and 12  inhibited tyrosinase with IC50 = 42.59 �M. Our results highlighted the economical and environmental outcomes of recycling DSE for the development of natural antioxidants and skin whitening creams.
