Chemical constituents of Hypnea charoides / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the chemical constituents of red algae Hypnea charoides. MethodsThe constituents were isolated by column chromatography and their structures were elucidated by chemical properties and spectroscopic analyses. Results Three compounds were isolated and their structures were identified as 3, 6-dimethyl-8-(4-methyleneheptan-3-yloxy) octane-1-amine (Ⅰ), palmitate-K (Ⅱ), and (2R, 1′S, 2′S, 3′R)-N-(1′-hydroxymethyl-2′, 3′-dihydroxy-heptadecenyl)-2-hydroxy-12, 13-methylene-tetracosanamide (Ⅲ). Conclusion Compounds Ⅰ and Ⅲ are new compounds named as charoidesine and charoidesamide.
