Chemical constituents of Zanthoxylum dimorphophyllum / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the chemical constituents of Zanthoxylum dimorphophyllum and identify the chemical structures.Methods The compounds were isolated by silica gel,Flash column chromatography and purified by crystallization.Their structures were elucidated by spectral methods.ResultsSeven compounds were isolated and identified.They are 6-(3′,methyl-2′,3′-dihydroxy) butyl-7-methoxyl-8-(3″-methyl-2″-butenyl)-coumarin(Ⅰ),8-(3′-methyl)-2′,3′-butenyl-2′-(1″-hydroxy-1″-methyl)-ethyl-6,7-dihydrofurancoumarin(Ⅱ),6,7,8-trimethoxycoumarin(Ⅲ),scoparone(Ⅳ),umbelliferone(Ⅴ),canthin-6-one(Ⅵ),and syringaresinol(Ⅶ).Conclusion Compound I is a novel compound and all compounds are obtained from Z.dimorphophyllum for the first time.
