Studies on chemical constituents from leaves of Vaccinium bracteatum / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the chemical constituents from the leaves of Vaccinium bracteatum.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Many column chromatographic techniques were used for the isolation and separation of chemical constituents. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis and chemical evidences.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Twelve compounds were isolated from the plant, and they were identified as chrysoeriol (1), scopoletin (2), trans-p-hydroxycinnamic acid (3), trans-p-hydroxycinnamic acid ethyl ester (4), cafeic acid ethyl ester (5), beta-sitosterol (6), iuteolin (7), quercetin (8), esculetin (9), cafeic acid (10), isolariciresinol-9-O-beta-D-xyloside (11), 10-O-trans-p-coumaroylsandoside (12).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Compounds 4, 5, 11, 12 were isolated from the genus Vaccinium for the first time, and compounds 1, 2, 9, 10 were isolated from this plant for the first time.</p>
