[Chemical constituents from seeds of Hydnocarpus anthelminthica]. 2022
The present study investigated the chemical constituents from the dry seeds of Hydnocarpus anthelminthica. The compounds were isolated and purified from the dry seeds of H. anthelminthica by various chromatographic techniques including column chromatography over silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 and reversed-phase HPLC. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic analysis. The in vitro cytotoxic activities were determined by MTT assay. Ten compounds were isolated and identified as 2-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxo-1-propanol(1), threo-1,2-bis-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-propane-1,3-diol(2), erythro-1,2-bis-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-propane-1,3-diol(3), 2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxo-1-propanol(4), 3-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propan-1-one(5), chrysoeriol(6), evofolin B(7), apigenin-3'-methoxy-7-O-rutinoside(8), luteolin(9), and vitexin(10). Compound 1 is a new compound. Compounds 4 and 5 were isolated from this genus for the first time. All compounds showed no significant cytotoxic activity.
