Abstract:
Twelve compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of the 80% aqueous ethanol extract of the roots and stems of
Dalbergia rimosa Roxb. by silica gel, MCI, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and semi-preparative HPLC. Their structures were identified by spectral analysis such as UV, IR, MS, 1D/2D NMR and by comparison with literature information as dalbergiquinol A (
1), dalbergiquinol B (
2),
R-(-)-3′-hydroxy-2,4,5-trimethoxydalbergiquinol (
3), neokhriol A (
4), mucronulatol (
5), (3
R)-7,2′,3′-trihydroxy-4′-methoxy-isoflavane (
6), isomucronulatol (
7), (3
S)-violanone (
8), 3′-
O-methylviolanone (
9), eryvarin M (
10), (±)-
α, 3,4,2′,4′-pentahydroxydihydrochalcone (
11) and (-)-butin (
12). Compound
1 and
2 are new compounds, and compounds
3-
12 were isolated from this plant for the first time. Compounds
1,
2,
4,
6,
8,
11,
12 showed good scavenging effect on DPPH free radical.
