Chemical Consituents from Abelmochus Sagitifolius (Kurz) Merr.

Abstract

Abelmoschus sagittifolius belongs to the Abelmoschus genus, Malvaceae family. Chemical study on the aerial parts of Abelmoschus sagittifolius collected in Vinh Hung commune, Vinh Loc district, Thanh Hoa province have led to the isolation of six compounds including sitostenone (1), friedelin (2), vomifoliol (3), vanilic acid (4), ketopinoresinol (5) and daucosterol (6). The structures of these compounds have been elucidated by NMR, MS spectroscopic data and comparison with the reported literatures. Compounds 1-2 and 4-5 were isolated for the first time from Abelmoschus sagittifolius.
