Abstract:
AimTo study the chemical constituents of
Ardisia punctata. MethodsCompounds were separated with a combination of multi-chromatography. Their chemical structures were determined on the basis of spectral analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. ResultsThree compounds were isolated from chloroform extract of the roots of
Ardisia punctata. Their structures were elucidated as 2-tridecyl-3-[(2-tridecyl-3-acetoxy-4-methoxy-6-hydroxy)-phenyl]-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (1), 2-tridecyl-3-[(2-tridecyl-4,6-dihydroxy)-phenyl]-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (2) and 2-tridecyl-3-[(2-pentadecyl-4,6-dihydroxyl)-phenyl]-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (3). ConclusionThe three compounds are new 1,4-benzoquinone derivatives.
