Abstract:
The 95% ethanol extract of
Poria cocos was separated and purified by ODS, MCI gel CHP20 and silica gel column chromatography combined with the semi-preparative HPLC. The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were identified by NMR, MS, IR, and calculated NMR methods. Seven compounds were isolated from
Poria cocos and identified as 20
S-2
β, 3
α, 15
α, 19, 20-hydroxy-pregnane-7-ene (
1), dehydroeburicoic acid monoacetate (
2), eburicoic acid acetate (
3), dehydroeburicoic acid (
4), eburicoic acid (
5), dehydropachymic acid (
6), pachymic acid (
7). Compound
1 is a new pregnane steroid.
