Abstract
A phytochemical study of Glehnia littoralis leaves led to the isolation of 27 compounds, including 12 coumarins (1–12), four benzofuran glucosides (13–16), two phenols (17–18), one lignan (19), three alkaloids (20–22), two chromone glycosides (23–24), and three caffeoylquinic acids (25–27). Their structures were confirmed using NMR spectroscopy, ESI-MS, and optical rotation data from previous literature. To the best of our knowledge, compounds 16, 19–21, and 26 have not been reported from the Apiaceae family, while nine compounds 12–15, 18, 23–25, and 27 were obtained from the genus Glehnia for the first time. Except for coumarins, the unique alkaloids indole-3-carbaldehyde (20), deoxyhyrtiosine A (21), and naphthisoxazol A (22) are characteristic constituents for the chemotaxonomy of G. littoralis.
期刊介绍:
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology).
In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g. genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemosystematic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemosystematics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.
