Abstract:
Objective: To study the chemical constituents in the leaves of Actephila merrilliana. Methods: The compounds were isolated and purified by repeated column chromatography and their structures were identified by physicochemical properties and spectroscopic analysis. Results: Thirteen compounds were identified as 2-methoxy-9H-xanthen-9-one (1), 2-hydroxy-9H-xanthen-9-one (2), quinoline (3), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-benzaldehyde (4), di-n-octyl phthalate (5), bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (6), β-naphthol (7), 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy- benzaldehyde (8), lupeol (9), liriodenine (10), isoevodionol (11), adenine (12), and succinic acid (13). Conclusion: All compounds are reported for the first time from the plants of Actephila Blume.
