[Study on diarylheptanoids from green peel of Juglans sigillata]

The chemical constituents from green peel of Juglans sigillata were isolated by column chomatographies over silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and MCI. Four diarylheptanoids were isolated and their structures were characterized as dihydropterocarine(1), 3',4″-epoxy-1-(4'-hydroxy-phenyl)-7-(3″-methoxyl-phenyl)-heptan-3α-ol(2), pterocarine(3), and 1-(4'-hydroxy-phenyl)-7-(3″-methoxy-4″-hydroxyphenyl)-heptan-3α-ol(4). Compound 1 is a new compound, named as dihydropterocarine. Compounds 2-4 were isolated from the plant of J. sigillata for the first time.
