ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate chemical constituents of Iodes cirrhosa.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Constituents were isolated by using a combination of various chromatographic techniques including column chromatography over silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and C-18, as well as reversed-phase HPLC. Structures of the isolates were identified by spectroscopic and chemical methods.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Twenty-four compounds were obtained from a H2O-soluble portion of an ethanolic extract of the root of lodes cirrhosa Turcz. Structures of the isolates were identified as (-)-(7R,8S,7'E) -4,7,9,9'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-8,4'-oxyneolign-7'-ene-9'-O-beta-D-glucopyra-noside (1), (-)-(7S,8S,7'E)-4,7,9,9'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-8,4'-oxyneolign-7'-ene-9'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside(2), (+)-(7S,8S)-syringylglycerol 8-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), (+)-(7S, 8S)-guaiacylglycerol 8-O-P-D-glucopyranoside (4), (-)-(7S, 8S)-4,7,9, 9'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-8,4'-oxyneolignan-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (5),(-)-alaschanisoside A (6), (-)-(2R)-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-2-(2-methoxy-4-[1-(E)-propen-3-ol] phenoxyl propane-3-ol(7), (-)-(2R)-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-2-{2,6-dimethoxy-4-[1-(E)-propen-3-ol] phenoxyl} propane-3-ol(8), (-)-liriodendrin(9), (-)-(7S, 8R)-guaiacylglycerol 9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside(10), (-)-(7R, 8R)-guaiacylglycerol 9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside(11),(-)-(7R,8R)-syringylglycerol 9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside(12), (-)-(7R,8R)-guaiacylglycerol 7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside(13), (-)-11,13-dihydrodeacylcynaropicrin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside(14), (-)-sweroside (15), (-)-2-hydroxy-5-(2-hydroxyethyl) phenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside(16), (-)-(1'R)-1'-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl) ethane-1',2'-diol-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside(17), (-)-tachioside(18), (-)-3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside(19), (-)-3-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanone-3-O-beta-D-glucopy ranoside(20), (-)-2-methoxy4-(1-propionyl) phenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside(21), (-)-4-propionyl-3, 5-dimethoxyphenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside(22), erigeside C(23), and scopoletin beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside(24).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Compounds 1-24 were obtained from the genus for the first time.</p>
