Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the chemical constituents in Bruguiera sexangula var. rhynchopetala.
METHODSilica gel flash chromatography together with Sephadex LH - 20 were performed for the isolation and purification of the petrol ether fraction of this plant, and the structures were elucidated by spectral analysis as well as the comparison of the spectral data with those reported in the literatures.
RESULTNine compounds were obtained and identified as lupeol (1), lupeone (2), trans-hydroxy-cinnamoyl ester of lupeol (3), taraxerone (4), beta-amyril-palmitate (5), squalene (6),beta-sitosterol (7), daucosterol (8) and 7alpha-hydroxy-sitosterol (9).
CONCLUSIONAll the compounds were first isolated from B. sexangula var. rhynchopetala.
