Objective:
To study chemical constituents of fruits of Ligustrum lucidum.
Method:
The chemical components were isolated and purified by silica gel and sephadex LH-20 column chromatogram. The chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of physic-chemical properities and spectral data.
Result:
Seven flavonoids were isolated and identified as apigenin(I), cosmosiin(II), apigenin-7-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucoside(III), apigenin-7-O-beta-D-lutinoside (IV), luteolin (V), luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (VI), quercetin(II).
Conclusion:
Compounds II, IV, V were obtained from the fruits of the plant for the first time.
