ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the sesquiterpenes from the roots of Vladimiria souliei. Methods: The compounds were isolated by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, medium pressure chromatographic column, preparative-TLC, and preparative-HPLC. And their structures were identified by means of chemical methods and spectroscopic analyses. Results: Nine compounds were isolated from V. souliei, and named as 15-acetoxy-11αH-germacra-1(10)E, 4E-diene-12, 6α-olide (1), 15-acetoxy-11βH-germacra-1(10)E, 4E-diene-12, 6α-olide (2), 12-hydroxy-5α(H), 7α(H)-eudesm-4(14), 11(13)-diene-9-one (3), oplodiol (4), dihydroestafiatone (5), 10-oxo-dihydroxy-11β, 13-dihydrode hydrocostuslactone (6), (11S)-13-hydroxyl-guaia-4(15), 10(14)-diene-12, 6α-olide (7), 9-oxonerolidol (8), and vernopolyanthone (9). Conclusion: Compounds 1 and 3 are new compounds, named as vlasoudide and vlasoudione; and compounds 4-9 are isolated from the roots of V. souliei for the first time.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the chemical constituents from fruits of Michelia yunnanensis. Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by column chromatographies on silica gel and Sephadex LH-20. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. Results: Twelve compounds were isolated from methanol extract of the fruits of M. yunnanensis and the structures were identified as 13-methoxy-11β, 13-dihydrocostunolide (1), lanuginolide (2), tulipinolide (3), lipiferolide (4), costunolide (5), parthenolide (6), 11β, 13-dihydroparthenolide (7), 4α, 5β-epoxy-13-methoxy-11βH-germacra-1 (10)-en-12, 6α-olide (8), cyperusol C (9), aromadendra-4β, 10α-diol (10), 9-oxonerolidol (11), and 11, 13-dehydrocompressanolide (12). Conclusion: Compound 1 is isolated as a new natural product. 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR data of compounds 1 and 2 are reported for the first time. Except compound 6, other compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time.
