Abstract:
A new neolignan, (-)-(7R,8S,7'E)-3',4-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-8,4'-oxyneoligna-7'-ene-7,9,9'-triol(1), and seven known compounds, 9-(tetrahydropyran-2-yl)-nona-trans,trans-2,8-diene-4,6-diyn-1-ol (2), 9-(tetrahydropyran-2-yl)-trans-non-8-ene-4,6-diyn-1-ol (3), lobetyol (4), lobetyolin (5),dehydrodieoniferyl alcohol (6), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (7), and 4, 4'-dihydroxy-3, 3'-dimethoxy-trans-stilbene (8), were isolated from the H2O extract of Codonopsis pilosula. The structures of 1-8 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including NMR, HR-ESI-MS, and CD. In addition, compounds 2 and 3 were isolated from the genus Codonopsis for the first time.
