RESUMO
Objective To study the chemical components from Dryopteris fragrans and their biological activities.Methods By means of HPLC and other column chromatography,the chemical components were isolated from D.fragrans and their chemical structures were identified by spectral and chemical tests in accordance with their physicochemical characteristics.Furthermore,the cytotoxicity of the chemical components for Bel-7402,HCT-8,and A-549 cells was measured by MTT method.Results Four compounds,geniposide(Ⅰ),3S,5R,6R,7E,9S-megastigman-7-ene-3,5,6,9-tetrol-3-O-?-D-glucopyranoside(Ⅱ),(6S,9R)-3-oxo-?-ionol-9-O-?-D-glucopyranoside(Ⅲ),and fragranoside a(Ⅳ) were iso-lated and identified.Conclusion Compound Ⅳ is a new compound.And all the other three compounds Ⅰ-Ⅲ are found in plants of Dryopteris Adanson for the first time.The results of pharmacological experiments indicate that compounds Ⅰ and Ⅲ show strong cytotoxicity.
