Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the chemical constituents of the leaves of Aquilaria sinensis.
METHODThe compounds were isolated and purified by the methods of solvent extraction and chromatographic technique, and their structures were identified on the basis of the analyses of spectral data.
RESULTThirty-three compounds were obtained. Among them, twelve compounds were identified as 5-hydroxyl-7,4'-dimethoxyflavone (1), acacetin (2), luteolin (3), genkwanin (4), yuankanin (genkwanin-5-O-beta-D-primeveroside, 5), adenosine (6), genkwanin-5-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (7), hypolaetin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (8), hypoxanthine (9), uracil (10), 8-C-beta-D-galactopyranosylisovitexin (11), and 4-(1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl) -2,6-dimethoxyphenyl-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (12), respectively.
CONCLUSIONAll compounds except for 1, 3 and 4 were isolated from the leaves of A. sinensis for the first time.
