ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze and compare the volatile oil in the leaves of Juniperus formosana Hayata from Yuzhong and Lu-qu. Methods:The volatile oil from Juniperus formosana Hayata was extracted by steam distillation, and then identified by gas chroma-tography-mass spectrometry ( GC-MS) . Results:The average yield of the volatile oil from the leaves of Juniperus formosana Hayata from Yuzhong and Lugu was 0. 21% and 1. 45%(w/w), respectively. Between the two areas of the volatile oil from the leaves of Juniperas formsana, totally 40 peaks were separated from the volatile oil from Gansu with 38 ones (95%) were identified. Totally 51 peaks were separated from the volatile oil from Xizang with 47 ones (92%) were identified. The maln constituents in the former volatile oil wereα-pinene(44.92%),l-caryophyllene(9.23%),( -)-isoledene(6. 50%),a-caryophyllene(5.60%),myrcene(4.54%) and d-cadinene(3. 37%), and those in the latter were di-epi-cedrene(31. 87%),cyclohexene(15. 28%),γ-elemene(10. 05%), lanceol (5. 80%) and α-pinene(5. 79%). Conclusion:The constituents in the volatile oil in the leaves of Juniperus formosana Hayata from the two different regions are various, and the differences in the yield and compounds are notable. The method provides reference for the establishment of quality standard for Juniperus. formosana Hayata.
ABSTRACT
Object To study the chemical constituents from the fruits of Juniperus formosana Hayata. Methods The compounds were isolated and purified on liquid-liquid, silica gel, and aluminium oxide column chromatography, their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods, such as GC-MS, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR, especially 2D-NMR. Results Two new oxygenated diterpenoids, named labdatriene (Ⅰ) and labdadiene (Ⅱ), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract. Their structures were determined to be 19-carboxy-8(17)-13(16)-14-labdatriene and 15, 19-dihydroxyl-8(17)-13(E)-labdadiene, respectively. Conclusion Compounds Ⅰ and Ⅱ are new diterpenoids.
