Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the chemical constituents of Psammosilene tunicoides.
METHODThe two chemical constituents were separated by various chromatographic methods, and their structures were identified on the basis of spectroscopic analysis.
RESULTTwo beta-carboline alkaloids were separated from normal butanol fraction of P. tunicoides, and identified as 1-acetyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-beta-carboline (1) and 1-acetyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxyl-beta-carboline (2).
CONCLUSIONCompound 1 is separated from this plant as natural products for the first time, and compound 2 was a new compound.
