Abstract:
AIM In order to obtain active compounds of the roots of
Crepis napifera (Franch) Babc (Compositea), its chemical constituents were studied. METHODS Solvent partition and gel column chromatography, recrystalization and spectrum were used to extract, isolate and identity the constituents. RESULTS One sesquiterpene (I) and one triterpene (II) were obtained. (I) and (II) were elucidated as Δ
4,9-dien-eudesmine-13,15-dicarboxylic acid-15-β-
D-glucopyranoside (I) and acetate taraxasterol (II) respectively, based on
1HNMR,
13CNMR,
1H-
1H COSY, HMBC, ROESY, MS and IR spectroscopic data and literature data. CONCLUSION Compound I is a new eudesmane sesquiterpene glycoside named as napiferosied.
