Chemical constituents from the root of Actinidia chinensis(II) / 中国药学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the chemical components of the root of Actinidia chinensis. METHODS: The compounds were separated and purified by column chromatography and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. RESULTS: Ten compounds were obtained from the aqueous extracts of the root of Actinidia chinensis. The structures were determined as chlorogenic acid(1), crptochlorogenic acid(2), neochlorogenic acid(3), 3-O-coumaroylquinic acid(4), caffeic acid(5), trans-p-hydroxycinnamic acid(6), esculin(7), scopolelin(8), scopolin(9), and isofraxoside(10). CONCLUSION: Compounds 1-4, 6, and 8-10 are obtained from genus Actinidia for the first time and compund 5 is isolated from this plant for the first time.
