Résumé
Objective: To study the chemical constituents of Xanthii Fructus. Methods: The compounds were isolated and purified by chromatography on silica gel, ODS, and Sephadex LH-20 columns, and their structures were determined according to physicochemical properties and spectral analyses. Results: Fifteen compounds were obtained and identified as loliolide (1), (3S, 5R, 6S, 7E)-5, 6-epoxy-3-hydroxy-7-megastigmene-9-one (2), 7α-hydroxy-β-sitosterol (stigmast-5-ene-3β, 7α-diol) (3), stigmast-4-ene-3β, 6α-diol (4), 6'-palmitoxyl-β-daucosterin (5), β-sitosterol (6), daucosterol (7), balanophonin (8), pinoresinol (9), xanthatin (10), xanthinosin (11), xanthienopyran (12), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (13), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-transcinnamaldehyde (14), and quercetin (15). Conclusion: Compounds 1-5 are obtained from the plants in Xanthium L. for the first time, and compound 8 is isolated from this plant for the first time.
