ABSTRACT
Objective:To systemically study the chemical constituents of n-butanol fraction from Lysimachia capillipes. Method:The whole plant of L. capillipes was crushed into power,extracted by 70% methanol,concentrated under reduced pressure,and then its n-butanol extract was obtained by fractional extraction. The compounds from n-butanol fraction were isolated and purified by macroporous resin column chromatography,medium pressure ODS,silica gel,Sephadex LH-20 and preparative HPLC. Their structures were identified on the basis of spectral analysis and comparison with literature data. Result:Fifteen compounds including 6 saponins and 9 flavonoid glycosides were isolated from L. capillipes,and were identified as ascapilliposide B(1) and capilliposide C(2),kaempferol-3-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl(1→3)-[4-O-E-p-coumaroyl-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)] [β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→6)]-β-D-galactopyranoside-7-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside(3),kaempferol-3-O-{[β-D-xylopyranosyl(1→3)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→6)] [α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)]}-β-D-3-trans-p-coumaroylgalactopyranoside (4),capilliposide K (5),3β-O-{α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-[O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)]-α-L-arabinopyranosyl)}-16α-hydroxyolean-28,13β-olide (6),capilliposide I(7),quercetin-3-O-(2″,6″-di-O-α-rhamnopyranosyl)-β-galactopyranoside(8),kaempferol-3-O-{[β-D-xylopyranosyl(1→3)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→6)] [α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)]}-β-D-galactopyranoside(9),kaempferol-3-O-[2-glucopyranosyl(1→3)rhamnopyranosyl-6-rhamnopyranosyl]-β-D-galactopyranoside(10),kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosy-(1→2)-[α-L-rhamnopyranosy-(1→6)]-β-D-galactopyranoside(11),capilliposide I(12),kaempferol-3-O-{(β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-[4-O-(E-p-coumaroyl)]-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)-(β-D-galactopyranoside)}-7-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (13),kaempferol-3-O-{[β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→3)]-4-O-(E-p-coumaroyl)}-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside-7-O(4-O-acetyl)-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (14),and (3β,20S,23S,24R)-3,20,23,24,25,29-hexahydroxydammaran-21-oic acid-21,23-lactone 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-gluco-pyranoside(15). Conclusion:The compounds 3,4,6,9,10,13-15 were isolated from this plant for the first time.
