Study on Chemical Constituents from Zingiberis Rhizoma / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To study the chemical constituents of Zingiberis Rhizoma.METHODS:The compounds of Zingiberis Rhizoma were classified and purified by silica gel,Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and thin layer chromatography (TLC).The structure of compounds were analyzed and identified according to chemical property and spectrum data.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:Five compounds were isolated from Zingiberis Rhizoma,i.e.methyl-6-gingerol (1),4-gingerol (2),β-eudesmol (3),2,5-dihydroxybisabola-3,10-diene (4),6-shogaol (5).The compounds 2,3,4 are isolated from Zingiberis Rhizoma for the first time.
