Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the chemical constituents from roots of Boehmeria nivea.
METHODThe constituents were isolated by repeated column chromatography and preparative liquid chromatography; and their structures were elucidated by chemical properties and spectroscopic analyses.
RESULTSeven compounds were isolated and their structures were identified as tormentic acid (1), hederagenin (2), maslinic acid (3), 2alpha-hydroxyursolic acid (4), trans-p-hydroxycinamic acid (5), 2,4,4'-trihydroxychalcone (6), rutin (7).
CONCLUSIONCompounds 1-6 were obtained from this genus for the first time.
