Chemical constituents from the aerial parts of Plumbago zeylanica L.
To investigate the chemical constituents from the aerial parts of Plumbago zeylanica L. The chemical constituents were iso- lated by various column chromatographic methods and the structures were elucidated by various spectroscopic methods, especially 2D- NMR spectra A new triterpenoid, 1β,3β,11α-trihydroxy-urs-12-ene (1), together with six known compounds, anclrosta-1,4-diene-3,17- dione (2), isoshinznolone (3), neoeehinulin A (4), barman (5), ergostadiene-3β,5α,6β-triol (6) and N-(N'-benzoyl-S-phenylalaninyl)-S- phenylalaninol (7) were isolated from the aerial parts of P. zeylanica. Compound 1 was a new compound, and compounds 2, 4-7 were obtained from this genus for the first time.
