Chemical constituents from aerial parts of Clematis manshurica
Objective To investigate the chemical constituents from the ethanol extract of aerial parts of Clematis manshurica.Methods The compounds were isolated and purified by chromatography on silica gel,ODS,and preparative HPLC.Their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic methods,including MS,1D,and 2D NMR spectral techniques.Results Seventeen compounds were isolated from the ethanol extract of the aerial parts of C.manshurica,and were identified as (+)-epipinoresinol (1),(+)-pinoresinol (2),(-)-episyringaresinol (3),(+)-medioresinol (4),(+)-pinoresinol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5),(+)-syringaresinol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6),(+)-episyringaresinol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (7),matairesinol (8),(+)-lyoniresinol (9),(+)-isolariciresinol (10),(7R,8R)-4,7,9,9'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-diethoxy-8-O-4'-neolignan (11),(7R,8S)-4,7,9,9'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-diethoxy-8-O-4'-neolignan (12),(7S,8R)-dihydrodehydroconiferyl alcohol (13),luteolin (14),3''-O-(2'''-methylbutyryl) isoswertisin (15),2"-O-(2'"-methylbutyryl) isoswertisin (16),and 6''-O-(2'''-methylbutyryl) isoswertisin (17) Conclusion All compounds are obtained from the aerial parts of this plant for the first time,and compounds 1,3,4,7-9,11,12,and 15-17 are firstly isolated from the plants of Clematis L.
