Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the lipid constituents from Echinacea purpurea.
METHODThe compounds were isolated by chromatography method and the structures were identified on the basis of spectral analyses.
RESULTFive compounds were isolated and identified as, 1 beta, 6 alpha-dihydroxy-4(14)-eudesmene(1), (2E, 4E, 8Z, 10E)-N-isobutyl-2,4,8,10-dodecatetraenamide(2), (2E, 4E, 8Z, 10Z)-N-isobutyl-2,4,8,10-dodecatetraenamide(3), cerotic acid(4), hyxacosyl alcohol(5).
CONCLUSIONCompounds 1,4 and 5 were obtained from the plant for the first time.
