Chemical constituents from the fruits of Kochia scoparia and their chemotaxonomic significance
For the phytochemical studies of the fruits of Kochia scoparia (L.) Schrad. (Kochiae Fructus, KF), we isolated chemical components from KF. Twenty compounds, including six alkaloids (1–6), nine polyphenols (7–15), three flavonoids (16–18), and two sterols (19–20) were isolated and identified from the ethanol extract of KF by chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. Compounds 2, 3, and 5–16 were isolated from KF and Kochia genus for the first time. Furthermore, by discussing the taxonomic significance of these secondary metabolites, we found that Araliaceae, Compositae, Ranunculaceae, and Leguminosae might have a close evolutionary relationship. In conclusion, these results provide new insights into the chemical diversity and chemotaxonomic significance of K. scoparia in the Kochia genus and the Chenopodiaceae family.
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 Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.
