Study on chemical constituents from Gnaphalium affine and their anti-oxidative activities
Objective To study the chemical constituents from Gnaphalium affine and their anti-oxidative activities.Methods Chemical constituents were isolated by column chromatography and semi-prepared HPLC,the structures were elucidated by spectral data and physicochemical properties.DPPH free radical scavenging activities of compounds 1,3-11,and 16 were determined.Results Seventeen compounds were isolated and respectively identified as apigenin (1),dihydroapigenin (2),luteolin (3),chrysin (4),wogonin (5),stimasterol (6),β-sitosterol (7),ursolic acid (8),oleanolic acid (9),19α-hydroxyl-oleanolic acid (10),2α,3α,19α-trihydroxy-28-norurs-12ene (11),α-amyrin acetate (12),β-amyrin acetate (13),patriscabratine (14),aurantiamide acetate (15),4'-hydroxydehydrokawain (16),and isovanillin (17).Compounds 1 and 3-5 had significant anti-oxidative activities.Conclusion Compounds 2,4,5,11-15,and 17 are isolated from G.affine for the frist time.
