Chemical constituents in Guizhi Fuling Capsula (I) / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the chemical constituents of the chloroform extraction from Guizhi Fuling Capsula. Methods: The compounds were separated with column chromatography and their chemical structures were identified by physiochemical and spectral methods, respectively. Results: Fifteen compounds were isolated from the Capsula. They were identified as paeonol (1), benzoic acid (2), β-stigmasterol (3), trans-cinnamic acid (4), betulinic acid (5), 2,5-dihydroxy-4-methylacetophenone (6), oleanolic acid (7), pachymic acid (8), taxifolin (9), amygdalin (10), mannitol (11), 3,3′-di-O-methyl ether ellagic acid (12), hederagenin (13), gallic acid (14), and daucosterol (15). Conclusion: Compounds 1-15 are isolated from the Capsula for the first time.
