Abstract:
AIM Investigating the chemical constituents of tetraploidy Banlangen(
Isatis indigotica Fort). METHODS Compounds were separated by chromatography on silica gel. Their structures were determined by spectral analysis and chemical evidence. RESULTS Four alkaloids were isolated. Their structures were identified as trytanthrin (I), 2,5-dihydroxy-indole(II), 2,3-dihydro-4-hydroxy-2-oxo-indole-3-acetonitrile(III) and indole-3-acetonitrile-6-
O-β-
D-glucopyranoside(IV). CONCLUSION Compounds III and IV are new compounds.
