OBJECTIVETo investigate the chemical constituents in Cicuta virosa var. latisecta.

METHODMany kinds of column chromatography were used to isolate the compounds from the EtOH ext. of C. virosa var. latisecta. The chemical constituents of the plant were identified by means of IR, MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, respectively, in some case by direct comparison with authentic samples.

RESULTNine compounds were isolated from the aerial part and were identified as: 3beta-acetyloxy-16-hydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid (1), 9 (11), 12-dieneoleana-3beta-ol (2), 9, 19-cyclolanaost-24-en-3-one (3), 9, 19-cycloergost-23-en-3, 25-diol (4), stigmasterol (5), falcarindiol (6), 1, 2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, his (2-ethylhexyl) ester (7), stigmast-5-en-3beta-ol (8), beta-daucosterol (9).

CONCLUSIONCompound 1 is a new natural product, and compounds 2 to 9 were firstly isolated from this plant.

The chemical constituents of Chinese red ginseng (Panax ginseng) were investigated. The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by silca gel, ODS, and Sephedex LH-20, column chromatography, and preparative HPLC. Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectra data. Fourteen compounds were isolated and identified as: notoginsenoside R2 (1), 20(S) -ginsenoside Rg3 (2), 20(R) -ginsenoside Rg3 (3), 20 (S)-ginsenoside Rg2 (4), 20(R) -ginsenosideRg2 (5), 20 (S)-ginsenoside Rh1 (6), 20(R) -ginsenoside Rh1 (7), ginsenoside Rh4 (8), -Ro (9), -Rb1 (10), -Rg1 (11), Re-(12), Rf (13), maltol (14). Compounds 1, 4, 6, were obtained from red ginseng for the first time. Compounds 2 and 3, 4 and 5-7 were enantiomers respectively, enantiomers 6 and 7 were isolated as monomer for the first time.
