Abstract:
This study was performed to investigate the chemical constituents in the twigs and leaves of
Harrisonia perforate. Six compounds were isolated from the 95% EtOH extract of the twigs and leaves of
Harrisonia perforate by silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies and preparative HPLC. On the basis of chemical properties and spectra data, these compounds were identified as harriperfin E(
1), kihadanin A(
2), kihadanin B(
3), 6
α-acetoxyobacunol acetate(
4), gardaubryone C(
5), and
β-sitosterol methyl ether(
6), respectively. Compound
1 is a new chromone, and compounds
2-6 are isolated from this plant for the first time.
