Isolation and Identification of Chemical Constituents from Ethanol Extract of Camptosorus sibiricus / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the chemical constituents in 95%ethanol extract of the whole plant of Camptosorus sibiricus and determine its antioxidant activity. Method:Compounds were isolated by a combination of various chromato-graphic techniques, including column chromatography over silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 and reversed-phase HPLC. Their structures were identified on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectral data reported in the literature. Result:Eleven compounds were identified as trans-p-coumaric acid (1),trans-p-coumaric acid 4-O-β-D-glucoside (2),cis-p-coumaric acid 4-O-β-D-glucoside (3),(E)-ferulic acid-4-O-β-D-glucoside (4),caffeic acid methyl ester (5),ferulic acid methyl ester (6),syringic acid (7),syringic acid-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (8),protocatechualdehyde (9),vanillain (10) and syringaldehyde (11),respectively. Conclusion:Compounds 3-11 are isolated from the genus Camptosorus for the first time. In the in vitro SOD-like activity assays,compounds 7,9-11 show an antioxidant activity with half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)values of 16.70,11.70,12.23 and 13.52 μmol·L-1,respectively.
