Abstract:
This study was conducted to investigate the chemical constituents in the root of
Dysosma versipellis (Hance) M. Cheng. The constituents were isolated by silica gel, lichroprep RP-C
18 and pharmadex LH-20 column chromatography and the IR, MS, NMR, 2D-NMR spectroscopic analysis were employed for the structural elucidation. Ten compounds were isolated from the 95% ethanol extract of
Dysosma versipellis, their structures were elucidated as dysoverine D (
1), dysoverine F (
2), dysoverine A (
3), podoverine A (
4), α-peltatin (
5), rutin (
6), kaempferol-3-
O-
β-
D-glucopyranoside (
7), quercetin-3-
O-
β-
D-glucopyranoside (
8), kaempferol (
9) and quercetin (
10). Compound
2 is a new compound, and compounds
1 and
3-
6 were isolated from this plant fo r the first time.
