Abstract:
Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the roots of Millettia speciosa (Leguminosae). Methods: Compounds in the 95% ethanol extract from the air-dried roots of M. speciosa were isolated by chromatography on silica gel column together with recrystallization, and their structures were identified by their physicochemical characteristics and spectral features. Results: Sixteen components were isolated from the air-dried roots of M. speciosa and identified as 7-oxo-β-sitosterol (1), aurantiamide acetate (2), shionone (3), maleic acid (4), psoralen (5), N-methylcytisine (6), lupeol caffeate (7), bisdemethoxycurcumin (8), vanillic acid (9), syringic acid (10), 6-methoxydihdyrosanguinarine (11), glycyrrhizic acid (12), (E)-3, 3'-dimethoxy-4, 4'-dihydroxystilbene (13), schisandrol B (14), 7-hydroxylathyrol (15), and nardosinone (16). Conclusion: All the compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time, and compounds 3, 7, 8, 11, and 13-16 are isolated from the plants of Leguminosae for the first time, compounds 2, 4-6, 9, 10 are isolated from the plants of Millettia Wight et Arn. for the first time.
