Study on lignans compounds from Lavandula angustifolia / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the lignans compounds constituents of Lavandula angustifolia. Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by TLC, silica gel, MCI-gel, and RP-HPLC, and their structures were identified by analysis of spectroscopic evidences and physicochemical properties. Results: A total of 11 constituents were isolated from L. angustifolia and elucidated as pinoresinol (1), syringaresinol (2), fraxiresinol-4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), syringaresinol-4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), 8-hydroxypinoresinol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), rel-(2α,3β)-7-O-methylcedrusin (6), lariciresinol-4'-O-β-D-glucoside (7), (2S,3R)-2,3-dihydro-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-7-methoxybenzofuran-5-(trans) propen-1-ol-3-O-β-glucoside (8), (7S,8R)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-9-β-D-glucopyranoside (9), (7R,8R)-7,8-dihydro-9'-hydroxyl-3'-methoxyl-8- hydroxymethyl-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1'-benzofuranpropanol-9'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (10), and (E)-3-((2S,3S)-2-(4- hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-7-methoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl) allyl-2-hydroxyacetate (11). Conclusion: The 11 compounds are isolated from this plant for first time.
