Objective:
To investigate the chemical components of Gardenia jasminoides.
Methods:
Various column chromatography were used in the isolation and purification, and physiochemical constant determination and spectral analysis were adopted to idenitify the chemical structures.
Results:
Ten compounds were isolated and identified as jasminoside A(1), epijasminoside A(2), 6-O-methylscandoside methyl ester (3), 6-O-methyldeacetylasperulosidic acid methyl ester (4), gardenoside (5), phenylmethol (6), 4-hydroxy-phenylmethol-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl- (1-->6) -beta-D-glucopyranoside (7), 3,4-dihydroxy-phenylmethol-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (8), 3-hydroxy4-methoxy-phenylmethol-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (9), 3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenylmethol-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (10).
Conclusion:
Compounds 6 -10 are isolated from this plant for the first time.
