Objective:
To investigate the chemical constituents in the leaves of Lindera aggregate.
Methods:
Compounds were separated by column chromatography with silica gel and ODS. The structures were identified by physicochemical properties and spectral analysis (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR).
Results:
Eight compounds were isolated and identified as: quercetin-3-O-L-rhamnoside(1), kaempferol-3-O-L-rhamnoside(2), kaempferol(3), dihydrokaempferol-3-O-L-rhamnoside (4), quercetin (5), quercetin-3-O-alpha-D-arabinofuranoside (6), quercetin-3-O-alpha-D-glucopyranoside(7), kaempferol-3-O-D-glucopyranoside(8).
Conclusion:
Compounds 2,4 and 8 are obtained from Lindera aggregata for the first time.
