Studies on chemical constituents of Hibiscus mutabilis / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Object To study the chemical constituents of Hibiscus mutabilis L.Methods Isolation and purification were carried out on silica gel, or polyamide column chromatography etc. Constituents were identified and structurally elucidated by physicochemical properties and spectral analysis.Results Ten compounds were obtained, nine of them were determined as tetracosanoic acid (Ⅰ), ?-sitosterol (Ⅱ), daucosterol (Ⅲ), salicylic acid (Ⅳ), emodin (Ⅴ), rutin (Ⅵ), kaempferol-3-O-?-rutinoside (Ⅶ), kaempferol-3-O-?-robinobinoside (Ⅷ) and kaempferol-3-O-?-D-(6-E-p-hydroxycinnamoyl)-glucopyranoside (Ⅸ).Conclusion All compounds are isolated from the plant for the frist time except Ⅱ and Ⅵ.
