[Study on Chemical Constituents of Fermented Antrodia camphorata Powder]
Objective:
To study the chemical constituents of fermented Antrodia camphorata powder.
Methods:
15 compounds were isolated from Antrodia camphorata by Silica gel column chromatography, ODS column chromatography, gel column chromatography, preparative liquid phase chromatography separation technique, as well as recrystallization.
Results:
On the basis of their physical and chemical properties and spectral data,their structures were identified as Ferulic acid (1), Inositol (2), β-Sitosterol (3),Vanillin (4),Vanillic acid (5), Butyric acid (6), Daucosterol (7), p-Hydroxycinnamic acid (8), Lauric acid (9), Inosine (10), Uridine (11), Adenine (12), D(+)-Sucrose (13), Arachidic acid (14) and Guanosine (15).
Conclusion:
Compounds 1, 5, 6 and 8-15 are isolated from fermented powder for the first time.
