[Chemical constituents of Trichosanthes kirilowii peels]
Objective:
To study the chemical constituents of the peels of Trichosanthes kirilowii.
Methods:
Many chromatographic techniques were used including repeated silica column chromatography, polyamide resin and semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography. According to the physical and chemical properties and spectral analysis, the chemical structures of the compounds were determined.
Results:
Thirteen compounds were isolated and identified as quercetin-3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnose(1 --> 2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-5-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), quercetin-3-O-rutinoside (2), apigenin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), diosmetin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), luteolin (5), apigenin (6), diosmetin (7), methyl palmitate (8), methyl stearate (9), palmitic acid (10), beta-sitosterol (11), alpha-spin-asterol (12) and stigmasterol (13).
Conclusion:
Compounds 1 - 3, 5 - 7 are isolated from this plant for the first time.
