Chemical constituents from Hedysarum polybotrys and their antitumor activities / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the chemcial constituents in Hedysarum polybotrys and their antitumor activities.Methods The chemical constituents were isolated by various column chromatographic methods,and their structures were elucidated mainly by NMR and MS evidences;Cytotoxicities of the purified compounds against human cancer cell lines HepG2 were evaluated by MTT method.Results Eleven compounds were isolated and identified as n-tetracosanoic acid(Ⅰ),n-hexacosanic acid(Ⅱ),trioleic glyceride(Ⅲ),glycerol monopalmitate(Ⅳ),cetyl ferulate(Ⅴ),(+)syringaresinol(Ⅵ),7-hydroxy-4′-methoxyisoflavane(Ⅶ),isoliquiritigenin(Ⅷ),3-hydroxy-9-methoxypterocarpan(Ⅸ), ?-sitosterol(Ⅹ),and daucosterol(Ⅺ).Conclusion Compounds Ⅰ—Ⅳ and Ⅵ are isolated from this plant for the first time.Compound Ⅸ shows the inhibitory activity on HepG2 with IC50 values of 10.69 ?mol/L.
