Abstract:
Nine compounds were isolated from the
n-butanol fraction of 95% ethanol extract of the fruit of
Alpinia oxyphylla Miq. with a combination of various chromatographic approaches, including MDS resin, silica gel, reverse phase C
18 and preparative HPLC. On the basis of spectroscopic data analysis, they were elucidated as(1
R, 4
R, 10
R)-1
β, 4
α-dihydroxy-11, 12, 13-trinor-5, 6-eudesmen-7-one(
1), 1
β, 4
β-dihydroxy-11, 12, 13-trinor-8, 9-eudesmen-7-one(
2), oxyphyllenone A(
3), oxyphyllenone B(
4), rhamnocitrin(
5), staphylionoside D(
6), benzyl-1-
O-
β-
D-glucopyranoside(
7), 2-
O-
β-
D-glucopyranosyl-(1
S)-phenylethylene glycol(
8), and(
S)-1-phenylethyl-
β-
D-glucopyranoside(
9). Among them, compound
1 is a new sesquiterpene, named as oxyphyllenone C; compounds
8 and
9 are new natural products; compounds
2 and
6 were isolated from the genus
Alpinia for the first time, and compound
7 was isolated from
A. oxyphylla for the first time.
