A new monoterpene glycoside from Paeonia lactiflora Pall / 药学学报

ABSTRACT

<p><b>AIM</b>To study the chemical constituents of Paeonia lactiflora.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The constituents of P. lactiflora were separated by using various kinds of modern chromatography and was identified its structure on the basis of spectral analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A monoterpene glucoside named albiflorin R1 was isolated from the roots of Paeonia lactiflora Pall. In the structure of albiflorin R1, the aglycone connected with a glucose at its 2-OH while the hemiacetal hydroxyl in glucose moiety was free.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Albiflorin R1 is a new monoterpene glycoside.</p>
