Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To isolate and determine the chemical constituents from Shengzhou Ranunculus muricatu L. . METHODS Eight compounds were isolated and purified by extraction and different kinds of column chromatography. The structures were determined on the basis of extensive spectral analysis such as EI-MS, 1H-NMR,13C-NMR and DEPT. RESULTS The structures were elucidated as stigmasta-4-ene-3,6-dione(I),stigmasterol(Ⅱ),anemonin (Ⅲ),scoparone (IV),β-sitostero1(V), protocatechuic aldehyde (Ⅵ),protocatechuic acid(Ⅶ) and 1uteolin (Ⅷ), respectively. CONCLUSION Compounds( I,Ⅳ,V,Ⅵ) were isolated from Ranunculus muricatus for the first time.
