Chemical constituents of Scirpus yagara Ohwi / 中国药学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the chemical constituents of Scirpus yagara Ohwi. METHODS: Column chromatography techniques were applied to isolate the constituents. The chemical structures of the constituents were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectral data. RESULTS: Forteen compounds were isolated and identified as sanleng diphenyllactone (1), β-sitosterol (2), ferulic acid(3), succinic acid(4), azelaic acid(5), docosanoic acid (6), 6, 7, 10-trihydroxy-8-octadecenoic acid(7), 4, 4-dime-thyl-1, 7-pimelic acid(8), vanillic acid(9), 3, 5-dihydroxy-4-methoxy-benzoic acid(10), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde(II), 3, 4-dihydroxy-benzoic acid(12), 2, 7-dihydroxy xanthone(13) and daucosterol(14). CONCLUSION: Compounds 1-10 and 12-14 are obtained from this plant for the first time, and compounds 1 and 13 were obtained from the genus Scirpus for the first time.
