ABSTRACT
Twelve new grayanoids (-) along with five known compounds were isolated from flowers of . Their structures were fully characterized using a combination of spectroscopic analyses, computational calculations, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Rhomollone A () possesses an unprecedented 5/6/6/5 tetra-cyclic ring system (B- grayanane) incorporating a cyclopentene-1,3-dione scaffold. Rhodomollein XLIII () is a dimeric grayanoid, containing a novel 14-membered heterocyclic ring with a symmetry axis. The antinociceptive activities of compounds , , , , and - were evaluated by an acetic acid-induced writhing test. Among them, compounds , , , and displayed significant antinociceptive activities at a dose of 20 mg/kg with inhibition rates ranging from 41.9% to 91.6%. Compounds and inhibited 46.0% and 39.4% of the acetic acid-induced writhes at a dose of 2 mg/kg, while compound inhibited 34.3% of the writhes at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the chemical constituents of the n-BuOH fraction of 95% ethanolic extract of leaves of Neoalsomitra integrifoliola.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The compounds were isolated with kinds of column chromatography. The structures were determined by MS and NMR spectroscopic techniques.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Eight compounds were isolated from the n-BuOH fraction of 95% ethanolic extract and their structures were identified as 2-phenylethyl rutinoside (1), rutin (2), kaempferol-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), isorhamnetin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), methyl chlorogenate (5), guanosine (6), adenosine (7), myo-inositol (8), respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>All compounds were isolated from this genus for the first time.</p>

Objective To isolate and identify the flavonoids from the fruits of Illicium oligandrum.Methods The flavonoids were isolated by silica-gel,Sephadex LH-20,and ODS column chromato-graphies.Their structures were elucidated by 1H-NMR,13CNMR,and ESI-MS.Results Eleven flavonoids were isolated and identified as kaempferol(Ⅰ),quercetin(Ⅱ),quercetin-3-O-?-D-galactopyranoside(Ⅲ),isorhamnetin-3-O-?-D-glucopyranoside(Ⅳ),quercetin-3-O-?-L-arabinopy-ranoside(Ⅴ),quercetin-3O-?-L-rhamnopyranoside(Ⅵ),dihydroquercetin-3O-?-L-rhamnopyranoside(Ⅶ),dihydrokaempferol-3O-?-L-rhamnopyranoside(Ⅷ),quercetin-3O-?-D-(6″-O-?-L-rhamnopy-ranosyl) glucopyranoside(Ⅸ),kaempferol-3-O-?-D-(6″-O-?-L-rhamnopyranosyl) glucopyranoside(Ⅹ),isorhamnetin-3-O-?D-(6″-O-?-L-rhamnopyranosyl) glucopyranoside(Ⅺ).Conclusion All these compounds are firstly obtained from the plants of fruits of I.oligandrum and compounds Ⅳ,Ⅴ,Ⅶ,Ⅷ,and Ⅺ are isolated from the plants of Illicium L.for the first time.
