Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the chemical constituents from the rhizomes of Zingiber officinale.
METHODIsolation and purification of the chemical constituents were carried out on the column chromatography of silica gel and Sephadex LH-20. The structures were elucidated on basis of physicochemical properties and spectral data.
RESULTTen compounds were isolated and identified as beta-sitosterol palmitate (1), isovanillin (2), glycol monopalmitate (3), hexacosanoic acid 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester (4), maleimide-5-oxime (5), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (6), adenine (7), 6-gingerol (8), 6-shogaol (9), and 1-(omega-ferulyloxyceratyl) glycerols (10a-10f).
CONCLUSIONCompounds 1-7 and 10a-10e are obtained from Z. officinale for the first time, and compound 10f is a new compound.
