RESUMEN
Objective: To study the chemical constituents of ethyl acetate extracts from the root bark of Celastrusmonospermus. Methods: The compounds were separated and purified by repeated column chromatographic methods including silica gel, ODS and Sephadex LH-20, and the chemical structures of compounds were determined by spectral data analyses. Results: Twelve compounds were obtained and identified as polpunonic acid (1), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (2), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid (3), salaspermic acid (4), 3-oxo-2β-hydroxyfriedelan-29-oic acid (5), celastrol (6), 3α,22β-dihydroxy-olean-12-en-29-oic acid (7), orthosphenic acid (8), 21-oxo-2α,3α,22β-trihydroxy-29-nor-friedelan-24,2â-lactone (9), 2,3-dioxo-6α,10-dihydroxy-24-nor-friedelan-4,7-dien-29-oic acid (10), 2α,3β,19α,23-tetrahydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (11) and 2α,3β-dihydroxyolean-12-en-23,28,30-trioic acid (12). Conclusion: Compounds 1, 3, 7, 10-12are obtained from this plant for the first time, and compounds 3, 11, 12 of them were separated from the genus Celastrus for the first time.
RESUMEN
Objective: To investigate the chemical constituents from the shoots of Phyllostachys edulis. Methods: Compounds were isolated by using a combination of various chromatographic techniques including silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH-20, reversed-phase HPLC, and others. And the structures were elucidated by the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry, and other modern spectroscopy. Results: Eighteen compounds were isolated from the shoots of P. edulis and identified as thymidine (1), uracil (2), 5-ethyluracil (3), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid (4), p-hydroxy-benzaldehyde (5), adenosine (6), uridine (7), 2'-O-methyluridine (8), ethyl-p-hydroxybenzoate (9), cyclo (L-Val-L-Ala) (10), cyclo (L-Phe-L-Leu) (11), flazine (12), ethyl 4-(sulfooxy) benzoate (13), 1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid, methyl ester (14), cis-p-hydroxyl ethyl cinnamate (15), trans-p-hydroxyl ethyl cinnamate (16), 4-hydroxy-2-methoxy-benzaldehyde (17), and methyl p-hydroxy benzeneacetate (18). Conclusion: All the compounds are isolated from the shoots of P. edulis for the first time, and compounds 6-18 are firstly obtained from the plants of Phyllostachys Sieb. et Zucc.
