ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To further study the chemical constituents of Zygophyllum fabago L. by classic phytochemical methods. METHODS: The compounds were isolated from the ethyl accetate extract by silica column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and RP-18 reverse-phase column chromatography. The structures were characterized by spectroscopy (1H-NMR and 13C-NMR) and comparison with the data of literatures. RESULTS: Thirteen compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract,and ten compounds were phenolic constituents. The compounds were identified as erythro-3, 3′-dimethoxy-4, 8′-oxyneoligna-9, 4′, 7′, 9′-tetraol-7(8)-ene (1), threo-3, 3′-dimethoxy-4, 8′-oxyneoligna-9, 4′, 7′, 9′-tetraol-7(8)-ene (2), erythro-1, 2-bis-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-propane-1, 3-diol (3), threo-1, 2-bis-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-propane-1, 3-diol (4), maninsigin B (5), scopoletin (6), 2-hydroxyl-1- (7), vanillin (8), paeonol (9), 4-(4′-O-D-glucopyranosyl-3′-methoxyphenyl)-2-butanone (10), actractylodin (11), acetylatractylodinol (12), and squalene (13). CONCLUSION: Compounds 1-13 are obtained from this plant for the first time.
ABSTRACT
To study the constituents of Karelinia caspia (Pall.) Less, three phenylpropanoid derivatives and other compounds were isolated by silica gel, RP-18 chromatographic methods. Compound 1 was a new phenylpropanoid glycoside named as kareline A. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis, including 1D- and 2D-NMR and mass spectrometry.
