Abstract:
Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the roots of Schefflera octophylla. Methods: The constituents were isolated and purified by repeated column chromatography on silica, Sephadex LH-20 gel, and HPLC. Their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis. Results: Eleven compounds were isolated and identified as 2α,3β,23α-trihydroxy-urs-12-ene-28-oic acid-28-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), 3α-hydroxy-urs-12-ene-23,28-dioic acid 28-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosy1 (1→4)-β-D-glucopyranosyl (1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), asiaticoside (3), decanol (4), octadecanol (5), lignoceric acid (6), octacosanoic acid (7), hexadecanoic acid (8), isovanillin (9), vanillin (10), and 2-hydroxy-4-(octyloxy) benzophenone (11). Conclusion: Compound 1 is isolated from the plants of Schefflera J. R. G. Forst. for the first time and compounds 4-11 are obtained from this plant for the first time.
