ABSTRACT
The chemical constituents of Litsea coreana were investigated using chromatographic methods, including column chromatography on silica gel, MCI, and semi-preparation HPLC. Two compounds were isolated and identified as hawktealignan A (1) and cinnamophilin (2) by NMR analyses as well as their physical and chemical properties. Compound 1 is a new lignan and compound 2 was isolated from this plant for the first time.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the chemical constituents of Dendrobium bellatulum. Methods The compounds were isolated and purified by column chromatography and preparative HPLC, and their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis. Results Fifteen compounds were isolated and identified as 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-3,6-dimethylbenzoic acid (1), 4’,5-dihydroxy-3,3’- dimethoxybiphezyl (2), 3,3’-dihydroxy-4,5-dimethoxybiphezyl (3), dihydroconiferyl dihydro-p-coumarate (4), aloifol I (5), batatasin III (6), dendrosinen B (7), 2,5,7-trihydroxy-4-methoxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene (8), p-hydroxyphenyl-propionic acid (9), p-hydroxycinnamic acid (10), ferulic acid (11), caffeic acid (12), dendrosinen D (13), neoolivil (14), and 3-hydroxymethyl-9- methoxy-2-(4’-hydroxy-3’,5’-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,3,6,7-tetrahydrophenanthro [4,3-b] furan-5,11-diol (15). Conclusion All compounds are isolated from D. bellatulum for the first time, and compound 1 is isolated from the family Orchidaceae for the first time.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the chemical constituents from Dendrobium hancockii. Methods: The compounds were isolated and purified by column chromatography and preparative HPLC, and their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis. Results: A total of nine compounds were isolated from D. hancockii and the structures were identified as 3,α-dihydroxy-4,5,3’- trimethoxybibenzyl (1), 3,4’,5-trihydroxy-3-methoxybibenzyl (2), 4,4’-dihydroxy-3,5,3’-trimenthoxybibenzyl (3), 4,3’-dihydroxy- 3,5’-dimethoxybibenzyl (4), 7-hydroxy-2-methoxy-1,4-phenanthrenequinone (5), 2,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxyphenanthrene (6), 2,5-dihydroxy-4,9-dimethoxyphenanthrene (7), nobilone (8), and crepidatuol B (9). Conclusion: Compound 1 is a new compound named dendrohanol A, and compounds 2-9 are isolated from this plant for the first time.
