ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the lignans in the leaves of Magnolia denudata. Methods: The constituents were separated and purified by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and semi-preparative HPLC. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data analysis. All compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against LPS-activated NO production in RAW 264.7 cell model in vitro. Results: Two tetrahydrofuran-type lignans and three dihydrobenzofuran-type lignans were isolated from 95% ethanol extract of M. denudate. Their structures were identified as (7S,7'R,8S,8'S)-3,4,5-trimethoxy-3',4'-methylenedioxy-7,7'-epoxylignan (1), veraguensin (2), liliflol A (3), liliflol B (4) and 5-methoxyliliflol B (5). Conclusion: Compound 1 is a new compound and named as magnodatin A. Compound 5 is a new natural product. The 13C-NMR spectroscopic data of compounds 3-5 are reported for the first time. Compound 5 exhibited weak inhibitory effect on NO production in LPS-induced macrophages with a inhibiton rate of 48.7% at 50 μmol/L.
ABSTRACT
AIM To study the chemical constituents from the twigs and leaves of Cryptomeria fortunei Hooibrenk ex Otto et Dietr.METHODS The ethyl acetate fraction of 95％ ethanol extract from C.fortunei was isolated and purified by silica,MCI,and Sephadex LH-20 column,then the structures of obtained compounds were identified by physicochemical properties and spectral data.RESULTS Eleven compounds were isolated and identified as isopimaric acid (1),sandaracopimaric acid (2),acetylisocupressic acid (3),imbricataloic acid (4),isocupressic acid (5),pinifolic acid (6),13-epicupressic acid (7),19-acetylagathadiol (8),agatadiol (9),phytol (10),elemol (11).CONCLUSION Compounds 1-10 are identified as diterpenoids and compound 11 is identified as sesquiterpenoid;Compounds 2,3,6-11 are obtained from this plant for the first time.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the chemical constituents from the leaves of Magnolia delavayi. Methods The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, MCI, and HPLC. Their structures were identified based on spectroscopic data. Results Fourteen compounds were isolated from 95% ethanol aqueous extract of M. delavayi and the structures were identified as (2E)-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,10-dodecadien-l,6,7-triol (1), (2E,6E)-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6-dodecadien-l,10,11- triol (2), loliolide (3), pinoresinol (4), syringaresinol (5), medioresinol (6), eudesmin (7), phillygenin (8), coniferaldehyde (9), 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamyl alcohol (10), indole-3-carboxaldehyde (11), indole-3-ethanol (12), 3,4-dimethoxy-benzoic acid (13), and 3,4-dimethoxyphenol (14). Conclusion All compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time. In addition, the 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopic data are reported for the first time in the current study.
