Abstract:
Objective: To explore the chemical constituents of traditional She medicine Rubi Radix et Rhizoma (the roots and rhizomes of Rubus chingii in family Rosaceae). Methods: The compounds were isolated and purified by various column chromatography and the structures were identified by physicochemical constant determination and spectral analysis. Results: Nine compounds were isolated and identified as β-sitosterol (1), daucosterol (2), euscaphic acid (3), 11α-euscaphic acid (4), tormentic acid (5), ellagic acid (6), gallic acid (7), ursolic acid (8), and oleanolic acid (9) from 95% ethanol extract of Rubi Radix et Rhizoma. Conclusion: All the nine compounds are isolated from Rubi Radix et Rhizoma for the first time and the compound 4 is first isolated from R. chingii.
