Chemical constituents from Sinacalia davidii / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Sinacalia davidii (Franch) Koyama. grows only in China, its chemical constituents have never been studied before. The compounds were isolated by column chromatography on silica gel and Sephadex LH-20, and the structures were identified on spectroscopic data (MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR). Six compounds were isolated from S. davidii, and were characterized as p-sitosterol (1), 3-oxo-2alpha, 23-dihydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid (2), 28-hydroxy-olean-12-en-3, 11-dione (3), 3beta-methoxy-olean-11-oxo-18-ene (4), luteolin (5) and 2alpha-hydroxy-ursolic acid (6). All the six compounds above were isolated from S. davidii for the first time.
