ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the chemical constituents in the n-butanol extract of pine needles of Cedrus deodara. Methods: Chemical constituents were separated and purified by silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 chromatography column. The structures were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectral data (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and DEPT). Results: The compounds were identified as 1-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-2-[4″-(3-hydroxypropyl)-2″-methoxyphenoxy]-1, 3-propanediol (1), (7S, 8R)-9, 9'-dihydroxy-3, 3'-dimethoxy-7, 8-dihydro-benzofuran-1'-propanol base neolignan-4-O-β-D-glucoside (2), (7R, 8R)-3', 9, 9'- trihydroxy-3-methoxy-7, 8-dihydro-benzofuran-1'-propanol base neolignans-9-O-α-L-rhamnoside (3), (6R, 9R)-6-hydroxy-3-oxo-α- ionol-9-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), (6R, 9R)-3-oxo-α-ionol-9-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), shikimic acid butyl ester (6), quinic acid butyl ester (7), (6S, 9R)-6-hydroxy-3-oxo-α-ionol-9-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (8), 5-p-trans-coumaroylguinic acid (9), and (E)-1-O-p- coumaroyl-α-D-glucopyranoside (10). Conclusion: Compounds 1-7 are isolated from C. Trew for the first time.
