ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the root bark of Litsea glutinosa. Methods: Silica gel and Sephedex LH-20 column chromatographies as well as semi-preparative HPLC were applied to isolate and purify the compounds. Their structures were elucidated based on the spectrum analysis. Results: Fifteen compounds were obtained and identi-fied as schizandriside (1), lyonside (2), coclaurine (3), alangisesquin A (4), alangisesquin B (5), dihydrobuddlenol (6), ssioriside (7), dendranthemoside B (8), epi-anhydrocinnzeylanol (9), isolariciresinol-5’-methoxy-iso-larixa-9’-O-β-D-xylopyranoside (10), benzyl alcohol-β-D- glucopyranoside (11), phenylethyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (12), n-butyl-β-D-fructoside (13), N-cis-feruloyl tyramine (14), and N-trans-sphingoyl tyramine (15). Conclusion: Compounds 1-13 are isolated from this plant for the first time.
