RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the chemical constituents from the whole plants of Gynura procumbens. Methods The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and ODS. Their structures were determined by physicochemical properties and spectroscopic analysis. Results Twenty-seven compounds were identified as dibutyl phthalate (1), ursolic acid (2), kaempferol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), 5-hydroxymaltol (4), 4-hydroxylbenzoic acid (5), 4-aminocinnamic acid (6), (E)-2-hexenyl β-D-glucoside (7), 1-(3-indolyl)-2,3-dihydroxy-propan-1-one (8), kaempferol-7-O-β-D-glucoside (9), quercetin-3-O-β-D- glucopyranoside (10), 3,4,5-tri-caffeoylquinic acid methyl ester (11), rutin (12), hesperidin (13), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid methyl ester (14), euscophic acid (15), tormentic acid (16), 2-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)-phenyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (17), negletein (18), 4,5-dihydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid (19), caesalpiniaphenol D (20), gentisic acid (21), 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (22), isohematinic acid (23), icariside B1 (24), dendranthemoside B (25), 4-methoxycinnamic acid (26), and baicalin (27). Conclusion Compounds 1, 2, 10, and 12 are obtained from the plants of G. procumbens for the first time, and compounds 4, 6-9, 11, 13-16, and 17-27 are obtained from Gynura genus for the first time.
