Chemical constituents from Faeces bombycis / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the chemical constituents from Faeces bombycis.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Isolation and purification were carried out on silic gel, Sephadex LH-20 and RP-18 column chromatography. The chemical structures of the constituents were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectral data.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Fifteen compounds were identified as 3S, 5R-dihydroxy-6R, 7-megstigmadien-9-one (1), 3S, 5R-dihydroxy-6S, 7-megstigmadien-9-one (2), (6R, 9R)-3-oxo-alpha-ionol-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), (6R, 9S)-3-oxo-alpha-ionol-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), blumenol C glucoside (5), byzantionoside B (6), alangionoside L (7), lutein (8), pipecolic acid (9), betaine (10), alanine (11), glutamic acid (12), phenylalanine (13), leucine (14), isoleucine (15).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>All the compounds were separated from Faeces bombycis for the first time.</p>
