RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To study the chemical constituents of Turpinia arguta. METHODS: The compounds were isolated by chromatography on silica gel and sephadex LH - 20 columns, and their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis. RESULTS: Thirteen compounds were obtained and identified as vanillic acid (1), E-p-hydroxoy-cinnamic acid (2) , butanedioic andydride (3), apigenin(4), pyrogallic acid(5), 2-furoic acid(6), gallic acid(7), 2-(4-hydroxybenzyl)malic acid(8), luteolin(9), apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucoside(10), luteolin-7-O-β-D-glucoside(11), apigenin-7-O-β-D-neohesperidoside(12) and apigenin-7-O-β-D-(2″, 6″- di-α-rhamnopyran-osyl)-glucopyranoside (13). CONCLUSION: Compounds 1-13 were isolated from this family for the first time. Copyright 2012 by the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association.
