RESUMO
Seven compounds were isolated from Onychium japonicum by macroporous resin, silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC. Their structures were identified by NMR, MS and other spectroscopic methods as onychone A (1), quercetin (2), quercetin-3-O-α-L-rhamnoside (3), kaempferol-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (5), (-)-prunin (6), and norathyriol (7). Compound 1 is a novel macrocyclic flavonoid, and all the others are reported from this plant for the first time. In vitro cytotoxic activities of compounds 1-7 were evaluated by MTS testing with five cancer cell lines. Compound 7 exhibited weak cytotoxicity against tumor cell lines A549, SMMC-7721, and SW480.
RESUMO
Objective: To study chemical constituents of Argyreia acuta. Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by silica gel, macroporous resin adsorption, MCI GEL CHP 20P, Sephadex LH-20 chromatography, and preparative liquid chromatography. Their structures were identified by physicochemical properties and spectral analysis. Results: Ten compounds were isolated and identified as ethyl caffeate (1), hispidulin (2), quercetin (3), scopolin (4), paprazine (5), mannitol (6), hesperetin (7), ipalbidinium-4’-O-β-D-(6-O-trans-coumaroyl)-glucoside (8), nepitrin (9), and homoplantaginin (10). Conclusion: Compound 8 is a new compound named argyreiacutine, and compounds 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, and 10 are isolated from A. acuta for the first time.
RESUMO
