Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the constituents of anti-inflammatory and hemostatic active sites of Mentha spicata.
METHODChemical constituents were separated by solvent method and chromatography and identified by physicochemical properties and spectroscopic methods.
RESULTThe structures were identified as ursane I, 3-methoxy-4-methylbenzaldehyde II, veratric acid III, 5-hydroxy-3',4',6,7-tetramethoxyflavone IV, diosmetin(V), thymonin VI, daucosterol VII.
CONCLUSIONAmong them, compounds I, II, III were first obtained from M. genus, IV, VI were separated from M. spicta for the first time.
