[Study on Phenylpropanoids of Gardenia jasminoides]
Objective:
To investigate the phenylpropanoids constituents of Gardenia jasminoides.
Methods:
Various column chromatography were used in the isolation and purification, physiochemical constant determination and spectral analysis were adopted to determine the chemical structures.
Results:
Eight compounds were isolated from Gardenia jasminoides, including 4-hydroxy-cinnamic acid methylester (1), 3, 5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy-cinnamic acid methylester (2), pisoninol II (3), 7-hydroxy-orebiusin A (4), (E) -3-(4'-hydroxyphenyl) -acrylic acid n-butyl ester (5), (E) -3-(4'-methoxyphenyl) -acrylic acid n-butyl ester (6), 4-methoxyl-phenylpropanol n-butyl ether (7) and cycloolivil (8).
Conclusion:
All compounds are firstly isolated from this plant.
