Objective:
To study the chemical constituents of the root bark of Tripterygium hypoglaucum.
Methods:
Column chromatography was used to separate the chemical constituents. The structures were determined by application of spectroscopic (NMR, MS) and chemical methods.
Results:
Eleven compounds were isolated and identified as 4'-0-(-) methylepigallocatechin (1),3,4-dimethoxyphenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl-f-D-glucopyranoside (3), (2R,3R)-3,5,7,3',5'-pentahydroxyflavan (4), 2-O-deacetyleuonine (5), tripfordine C (6), peritassine A (7) hypoglaunine C (8), wilfortrine (9), wilforgine (10) and wilfordine (11).
Conclusion:
Compounds 1-6 are isolated from this plant for the first time.
