ABSTRACT
Objective To study the chemical constituents from the root of Rumex gmelini.MethodsThe compounds were isolated and purified by chromatography,polyamide column chromatography,and preparation HPLC etc.Their structures were elucidated by physicochemical and spectroscopic evidences.Results Ten compounds were identified as:nepodin (Ⅰ),emodin (Ⅱ),citreorosein (Ⅲ),chrysophanol 8-O-?-(6'-acetyl) glucopyranoside (Ⅳ),chrysophanol 8-O-?-D-glucopyranoside (Ⅴ),resveratrol (Ⅵ),9,9'-dianthranone-2,2'-dimethyl-5,5'-bis (?-D-glucopyranose)-9,9',10,10'-tetrahydro-4,4'-dihydroxy-10,10'-dioxo (trivial name:rumoside A) (Ⅶ),emodin-8-O-?-D-glucopyranoside (Ⅷ),resveratrol-3-O-?-D-glucoside (Ⅸ),and rutin (Ⅹ).Conclusion Compound Ⅶ is a new compound,named rumoside A.Compounds Ⅴ,Ⅷ,and Ⅹ are separated from R.gmelini for the first time.Compounds Ⅲ and Ⅳ are the compounds which have been found in the plants of Rumex L.for the first time.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of three fungi of Helminthosporium on the seven kinds of bioactive constituents in root of seedling Rumex gmelini. Methods Let the R. gmelini infect the fungi of Helminthosporium by dealing the leave surface of R. gmelini with fungal spore suspension. The content of seven kinds of bioactive constituents was determined by HPLC and the results were analyzed by variance analysis. Results During the treatment time, little effect of three fungi of Helminthosporium on content of polydatin, chrysophanol 1-glucoside, and physcion, but the obvious effect on resveratrol, musizin, emodin, and chrysophanol was found. Conclusion The effects of H. turcicum 001 on yield and content of resveratrol are significant in early-middle stage (0—40 d), but treatment time over 40 d is not suitable. The results of this study could provide the new idea and theoretical basis for the exploiting of natural medicines and the planting of Chinese herbal medicine.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the HPLC fingerprint of Rumex gmelini from different habitats by RP-HPLC (DAD). Methods In this paper, 12 different samples were studied. Separation was performed on an Planetsil C_ 18 column, with mobile phase consisting of methanol and 0.1% phosphoric acid-water and with gradient elution at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The UV detection wavelength was 254 nm, column temperature was 35 ℃, and the analysis time was 50 min. Results The results showed that this method has a good repeatability and the ratio of common peaksarea of different samples had some difference. Conclusion This method can be used to establish the chromatographic fingerprint of R. gmelini with high specificity.
