Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo isolate and elucidate the chemical constituents from the tuber of Arundina graminifolia.
METHODThe compounds were extracted by 95% alcohol and isolated by column chromatography on silica gel, SephedaxLH-20 and ODS. The structures were determined by UV, IR, NMR and MS spectral analysis.
RESULTFive compounds were isolated, and their structures were identified as (2E)-, 2-propenoic acid, 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-decosyl ester (I), p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (II), triacontanol (III) and p-hydroxybenzylethyl ether (IV), 3-hydroxy-5-methoxybibenzyl (V), respectively.
CONCLUSIONAll compounds were isolated from the genus of Arundina for the first time.
