OBJECTIVETo investigate the extraction method of polyglycosides from Tripterygium wilfordii.

METHODThe extraction method of pressurized liquid extraction was employed and chromogenic colorimetric technique were used for quantitative analysis. Based on the single-factor experiment, according to the center combination design this paper used three factors and three levels of response surface methodology for process optimization.

RESULTThe optimized conditions were as follows: ratio of solid to liquid was 1:9.5, at the temperature of 115 degrees C for 80 minutes, the actual extract ratio and purity of polyglycosides obtained were 0.21% and 0.52%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe method of pressurized liquid extraction has obvious advantages over conventional reflux extracting.

Phytochemical investigation on Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl afforded ten compounds, including five lignan glycosides and five phenylethanoid glycosides. The compounds were isolated by using HP-20 macroporous resin, silica gel, octadecyl silica gel (ODS), size exclusion chromatography resin HW-40 chromatography, and preparative HPLC. The structures were established through application of extensive spectroscopic methods, including ESI-MS, 1D-and 2D-NMR spectroscopy. They were identified as forsythialanside E (1), 8'-hydroxypinoresinol-4'-O-β-D-glucoside (2), 8'-hydroxypinoresinol (3), lariciresinol-4'-O-β-D-glucoside (4), lariciresinol-4-O-β-D-glucoside (5), forsythoside H (6), forsythoside I (7), forsythoside F (8), plantainoside B (9), and plantainoside A (10). Compound 1 was a new lignan glycoside.

Three new coumarins, integmarins A-C (1-3), and a new coumarin glycoside, integmaside A (4) were isolated from the leaves and stems of Micromelum integerrimum. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR and MS data, and their absolute configurations were assigned according to the ECD data of the in situ formed transition metal complexes and comparison of experimental and calculated ECD data. Compounds 1 and 2 are two rare coumarins with butyl and propyl moieties at the C-6 position; compound 3 is a novel coumarin with a highly oxidized prenyl group, and compound 4 is a rare bisdihydrofuranocoumarin glycoside.

AIMTo study the chemical constituents of Dryopteris sublaeta Ching et Hsu.

METHODSFresh plant of Dryopteris sublaeta ching et hsu was extracted twice with boiling water, concentrated to small volume under reduced pressure at 50 degrees C. The concentrated material was partitioned with ether, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol. The fraction of ethyl acetate extract was chromatographed over macroporous adsorption resin (Diaion HP-20) eluted with a mixture of H2O and MeOH in increasing MeOH content. Their fractions from resin were repeatedly chromatographed over Toyopearl HW-40, Sephadex LH-20 and silica gel column chromatography. The compounds were identified on the basis of their physiochemical and spectral data.
