Studies on chemical constituents from root of Rubus innominatus / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Object To study the chemical constituents from the root of Rubus innominatus S. Moore (Rosaceae). Methods Twelve compounds were isolated from the methanol extract by repeated column chromatography over normal and reversed phase silica gels. Their structures were identified by analysis of their spectral data and comparing TLC with authentic samples. Results Ten triterpenic acids and two steroids were isolated and identified. The antibacterial test indicated some triterpenic acids had antibacterial activity. Conclusion All compounds were obtained from the plants of Rubus L. for the first time.
