Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the chemical constituents from flowers of Sesamum indicum.
METHODColumn chromatography with silica gel, C18 and Sephadex LH -20 as packing materials was used to separate the chemical constituents, and the structures were determined by chemical and spectroscopic methods.
RESULTSix flavones were isolated and elucidated as apigenin (1), ladanetin (2), ladanetin-6-O-beta-D-glucoside (3), apigenin-7-O-glucuronic acid (4), pedalitin (5), and pedalitin-6-O-glucoside (6).
CONCLUSIONAll of the compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.
