Chemical constituents from the fruit of Schisandra Chinensis

Abstract

OBJECTIVE Elucidation of the chemical constituents from fruits of Schisandra chinensis(Turcz) Baill.METHODS Chromatographic means and spectral analysis were applied to identify chemical constituents in the title plant. RESULTS Four compounds were isolated and characterized as ganwuweizic acid(Ⅰ),mono-ethyl fumarate(Ⅱ),tetracosanoic acid(Ⅲ) and meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid(Ⅳ) respectively.CONCLUSION Ⅰ～Ⅲ were isolated from S.chinensis for the first time and the ~(13)C NMR data of meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid(Ⅳ) was firstly offered and confirmed by 2D NMR analysis.
