Abstract:
AimTo study the chemical constituents of the roots of
Chloranthus henryi. Methods The constituents of
Chloranthus henryi were separated with various chromatographic techniques. The structures were elucidated by physico-chemical properties and spectral data. ResultsEight compounds were isolated from
Chloranthus henryi. They were identified as curcolonol (I), zedoarofuran (II), shizukanolide E (III), skimmin (IV), calucanthoside (V), chloracoumarin (VI),
β-sitosterol (VII), daucosterin (VIII). ConclusionChloracoumarin (VI) is a new compound and characterized as 6,8-dimethoxy-7-
O-[
β-
D-apiofunanosyl(1→3)-
β-
D-glucopyranosyl]-2
H-benzopyran-2-one. Compounds I, II were isolated from
Chloranthus henryi for the first time.
