Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the chemical constituents of Ligusticum chuanxiong.
METHODThe constituents were separated and purified by column chromatography with silica gel and ODS, and identified by NMR, MS spectral data.
RESULTEight compounds were isolated and identified as Ligustilide(I), 4,5-dihydro-3-butylphthalide(II), Z, Z'-6,6',7,3 alpha-diligustili-de(III), Z-6,8',7,3'-diligustilide(IV), Z'-3,8-dihydro-6,6'7,3' alpha-diligustilide(V), 4-hydroxy-3-butylphthalide(VI), ferulic acid(VII) and Xiongterpene(VIII).
CONCLUSIONCompound VIII is a new compound.
