ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the chemical constitutions from the seeds of Ferula sinkiangensis. Methods: Using different chromatographic methods to isolate and purify the compounds and to identify their structures by physicochemical properties and spectroscopic technology. Results: Thirty-two compounds were isolated and elucidated as butanedioic acid (1), variecolorquinonesa (2), β-sitosterol (3), stigmasterol-3-O-glucoside (4), 1-(3-ethylphenyl)-1,2-ethanediol (5), pinoresinol (6), (7,8-cis-8,8'-trans)- 2',4'-dihydroxyl-3,5-dimethoxy-lariciresinol (7), secoisolariciresinol (8), n-hexacosanol (9), isoquercitrin (10), quercetin (11), ferulic acid (12), stigmasterol (13), luteolin-7-O-β-D-gluronide (14), (R)-2'-hydroxy-N-[(2S,3S,4R)-1,3,4-trihydroxyhexacosan-2-yl] nonadanamide (15), macrathoinf (16), 1,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic (17), arctiin (18), parvifoliolsg (19), 5-hydroxymethyl fufural (20), daucosterol (21), vanillic acid (22), sucrose (23), rutin (24), neoarctina (25), methyl chlorogenate (26), 5-O-caffeoylquinic (27), uridine (28), inosine (29), 7-hydroxy coumarin (30), chlorogenic acid (31), and caffeic acid (32). Conclusion: Compounds 2, 5-11, 14-20, 22, 24-29, 31, and 32 are isolated from the plants of Ferula L. for the first time.
