Chemical constituents from roots of Distylium myricoides / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the chemical constituents from the roots of Distylium myricoides.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The chemical constituents were isolated and separated with chromatographic techniques, and structures were identified by spectroscopic methods.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Eight phenolic compounds were isolated and identified as 4-hydroxy-2-methoxyphenol 1-O-beta-D-(6'-O-galloyl) glucopyranoside (1), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-phenol 1-O-beta-D-(6'-O-galloyl) glucopyranoside (2), 3,4,5-tri methoxyphenol 1-O-beta-D-(6'-O-galloyl) glucopyranoside (3), 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), methyl gallate (5), ethyl gallate (6), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (7), gallic acid (8).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>All compounds were isolated from the genus Distylium for the first time.</p>
