Chemical constituents of Pothos chinensis / 国际药学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Obiective To investigate the chemical constituents of Pothos chinensis.Methods Compounds were isolated by the silica gel and Sephadex LH-20,semi-PHPLC,preparative thin layer chromatography and recrystallization.Structures of the com-pounds were identified by the physicochemical properties as well as the 1H NMR,13C NMR and MS spectroscopic data.Results Six-teen compounds were isolated from the whole plant of P.chinensis and their structures were identified as liquiritigenin(1),p-hydroxy-benzoic acid(2),syringic acid(3),E-4-hydroxycinnamic acid(4),N-trans-p-coumaroyltyramine(5),N-trans-cinnamoyltyramine (6),N-trans-feruloyltyramine(7),(+)-epiloliolide(8),neoechinulin A(9),vitexin(10),berchemolide(11),(±)-syringaresinol (12),prunasin(13),4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde(14),β-sitosterol(15)and β-daucosterol(16),respectively.Conclu-sion Compounds 1 and 9-14 are isolated from the genus Pohos for the first time.
