Abstract:
Macroporous adsorption resin, MCI, Toyopearl HW-40C and silica gel column chromatography combined with the semi-preparative HPLC were used to isolate and purify the water extract of
Cornus officinalis. And the structures of compounds were identified by HRESIMS, NMR, IR, UV and ECD. A total of twelve compounds were isolated from the fruits of
Cornus officinalis. They were identified as neolignan B (
1), 2, 3-dihydro-7-methoxy-2-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxyphenyl)-3a-
O-
β-
D-xylopyranosyloxymethyl-5-benzofuranpropanol (
2), cornucadinoside A (
3), 3, 4-dihydroxyacetophenone (
4),
n-butyl gallate (
5), 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (
6),
n-butyl quininate (
7), 5-hydroxymaltol (
8), 2-furolic acid (
9), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (
10), 5-(methoxycarbonyl)-2-pyrrolidone (
11), and dimethyl malate (
12). Compound
1 is a new biphenyl lignan, named as neolignan B. Compounds
2,
4,
5,
7-
9 and
11 were isolated from
Cornus officinalis for the first time.
