ABSTRACT
Objective To study the chemical constituents of Dioscorea zingiberensis.Methods The fresh rhizome of D.zingiberensis was extracted three times,3 h once with EtOH-H2O at 80 ℃.The EtOH was evaporated under reduced pressure to give a residue which was suspended in water and then was exacted with petroleum ether,ethyl acetate,and n-butanol fraction.The water fraction was isolated by the reversed-phase ODS column chromatography.The chemical structures were elucidated by means of 1H-NMR,13C-NMR,135DEPT,HMQC,and HMBC spectroscopic analyses.Results Three steroidal saponins were isolated from the fresh rhizome of D.zingiberensis.The compounds were identified as:diosgenin-3-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl(1→3)-?-D-glucopyranosyl(1→4)-[?-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)]-?-D-glucopyranoside(Ⅰ),(25R)-26-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl-furost-5-en-3?,22?-diol-3-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl(1→3)-?-D-glucopyranosyl(1→4)-[?-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)]-?-D-glucopyranoside(Ⅱ),and(25R)-26-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl-furost-5-en-3?,22?-diol-7-carbonyl-3-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl(1→3)-?-D-glucopyranosyl(1→4)-[?-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)]-?-D-glucopyranoside(Ⅲ).Conclusion Compound Ⅲ is a novel compound named as zingiberenin H.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study water-soluble constituents of Dioscorea zingiberensis in order to seek active components. Methods Various chromatographic techniques were used to isolate the constituents. Structures of compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses of 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 135DEPT, HMQC, HMBC, and TOCSY. Results One new steroidal saponin was isolated and identified as 26-O-(?-D-glucopyranosyl)-(25R)-furost-5-en-3?, 26-diol-22-OMe-3-O-｛?-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)-[?-D-glucopyranosl-(1→3)-?-D-glucopyranosl-(1→2)]-?-D-glucopyranoside｝. Conclusion The compound is a novel compound named as zingierenin E. The other two compounds are reported for the first time from D. zingiberensis.
ABSTRACT
Object To separate and characterize the chemical constituents of soybean germ Methods Column chromatogram, MS spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were employed Results Two new isoflavones were isolated from soybean germ They were isomer and relative molecular weight was 564 Compound Ⅰ was 6″ ? D arabinose genistin, compound Ⅱ was 6″ ? D xylose genistin Conclusion The two new isoflavones are first discovered in soybean
