Abstract:
AIMTo study the chemical constituents of the roots of Chloranthus henryi.
METHODSThe constituents of Chloranthus henryi were separated with various chromatographic techniques. structures were elucidated by physico-chemical properties and spectral data.
RESULTSEight compounds were isolated from Chloranthus henryi. They were identified as curcolonol (I), zedoarofuran (II), shizukanolide E (III) , skimmin (IV), calucanthoside (V), chloracoumarin (VI), beta-sitosterol (VII), daucosterin (VIII).
CONCLUSIONChloracoumarin (VI) is a new compound and characterized as 6,8-dimethoxy-7-O-[beta-D-apiofunanosyl(l --> 3 )-D-glucopyranosyl]-2H-benzopyran-2-one. Compounds I, II were isolated from Chloranthus henryi for the first time.
