A new stilbene glycoside from Dryopteris sublaeta

AimTo study the chemical constituents of Dryopteris sublaeta Ching et Hsu. Methods Fresh plant of Dryopteris sublaetaChing et Hsu was extracted twice with boiling water, concentrated to small volume under reduced pressure at 50 ℃. The concentrated material was partitioned with ether, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol. The fraction of ethyl acetate extract was chromatographed over macroporous adsorption resin (Diaion HP-20) eluted with a mixture of H₂O and MeOH in increasing MeOH content. Their fractions from resin were repeatedly chromatographed over Toyopearl HW-40, Sephadex LH-20 and silica gel column chromatography. The compounds were identified on the basis of their physiochemical and spectral data. ResultsFour compounds were obtained and identified as 3,5-dihydroxy-stilbene-3-O-neohesperidoside (1), 3,5-dihydroxy-stilbene-3-O-β-D-glucoside (2), polydotin peceid (3) and 3,5,4′-trihydroxy-bibenzyl-3-O-β-D-glucoside (4). ConclusionCompound 1 is a new compound, the others were isolated from Dryopteris for the first time.
