RESUMO
Objective To study the chemical constituents from the leaves of Styrax japonicus. Methods Seventeen compounds including nine phenylpropanoids and seven other constituents were isolated from the chloroform fraction of the 70% ethanol extract of leaves of S. japonicus, using column chromatography over silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 as well as the method of recrystallization. Results On the basis of physical and chemical properties combined with spectral data analysis, their structures were elucidated as nectandrin B (1), stigmasterol (2), matteucinol (3), eupomatenoid-7 (4), β-stigmasterol (5), dehydrodiisoeugenol (6), 4-oxo- 4[(3β,22E)-stigmasta-5,22-dien-3-yloxy] butanoic acid (7), 4-(3-methory-4-hydroxy) pheny-3-methyl-3-buten-2-one (8), ursolic acid (9), vanillic acid (10), (+)-(7S,8R,8’R)-4,8’-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-1’,2’,3’,4’,5’,6’-hexanorligna-7,7’-lactone (11), (+)-(7S,8R)-4- hydroxy-3-methoxy-1’,2’,3’,4’,5’,6’,7’-heptanorlign 8’-one (12), (2S,3R’)-2,3-dihydro-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-7-methoxy- 5-(2-propen-1-yl)-3-benzofuranmethanol (13), vanillin (14), (E)-p-coumaric acid (15), and dihydrokaempferol (16). Conclusion Compounds 1, 3-16 are isolated from this plant for the first time.
RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the chemical constituents of Abacopteris penangiana. Methods: Compounds were separated and purified by column chromatography with silica gel, RP C18, and Sephadex LH-20. The structures of the obtained compounds were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectroscopic methods. Results: Seven compounds were purified and their structures were identified as: (7′Z)-3-O-(3, 4-dihydroxy phenylethenyl)-caffeic acid (1), cafeicin B (2), matteucinol (3), protocatechuin acid (4), p-methoxybenzoic acid (5), β-sitosterol (6), and β-daucosterol (7). Conclusion: Compound 1 is a new compound named abacopteric acid, and compounds 2-7 are isolated from the plant for the first time.
