Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the chemical constituents of Opuntia milpa. Methods: The compounds were isolated by repeated silica gel chromatography and were elucidated by chemical and spectral analyses. Results: Ten compounds were isolated from the ethyl acelate extraction of O. milpa and identified as β-sitosterol (1), 1-heptadecanol (2), 5-hyadroxymemyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde (3), syringaldehyde (4), vanillin (5), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (6), coniferyl aldehyde (7), p-hydroxyl-cinnamaldehyde (8), quercetin-3-methyl ether (9), and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (10). Conclusion Compounds 3-10 are isolated from O. milpa for the first time.
