Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To study the constituents from the dried stems and leaves of Illicium dunnianum Tutcher.
METHODS The compounds were isolated and purified by column chromatography of AB-8 macroporous resin, silica gel, HW-40C, ODS, Sephadex LH-20, and semi-preparative RP-HPLC. Their structures were elucidated by physicochemical properties, spectral analyses and ECD.
RESULTS The 70% ethanol extract of Illicium dunnianum was subjected to AB-8 macroporous adsorption resin CC to yield 30% ethanol fraction. Five compounds were obtained and characterized as anisole glycol-7-O-β-L-funanarabifuranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), 4-O-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy-benzaldehyde (2), benzyl-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), β-D-glucopyranoside benzoate (4) and sachalinoside B (5), respectively.
CONCLUSION Compound 1 is a new phenolic glycoside, 2-5 are identified from Illicium dunnianum for the first time.
