Studies on the chemical constituents from the roots of Chloranthus henryi / 药学学报

ABSTRACT

<p><b>AIM</b>To study the chemical constituents of the roots of Chloranthus henryi.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The constituents of Chloranthus henryi were separated with various chromatographic techniques. structures were elucidated by physico-chemical properties and spectral data.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Eight compounds were isolated from Chloranthus henryi. They were identified as curcolonol (I), zedoarofuran (II), shizukanolide E (III) , skimmin (IV), calucanthoside (V), chloracoumarin (VI), beta-sitosterol (VII), daucosterin (VIII).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Chloracoumarin (VI) is a new compound and characterized as 6,8-dimethoxy-7-O-[beta-D-apiofunanosyl(l --> 3 )-D-glucopyranosyl]-2H-benzopyran-2-one. Compounds I, II were isolated from Chloranthus henryi for the first time.</p>
