[Coumarins from root of Zanthoxylum dimorphophyllum var. spinifolium].Zhongguo Zhong Yao Za Zhi. 2005 Jun; 30(11):832-4.ZZ
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical components from dried roots of Zanthoxylum dimorphophyllum var. spinifoliun.
METHOD
The chemical components were isolated by low pressure column chromatography and their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods.
RESULT
Five compounds were isolated and identified as 6-(2', 3'-dihydroxy-3'-methyl-butyl)-7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (I), 6-(2',3'-dihydroxy-3'-methyl-butyl)-7-methoxy-8-(3'-methyl-but-2'-enyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (II),6-(2',3'-dihydroxy-3'-methyl-butyl)-7-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (III), 6-(2', 3'-oxiranyl-3'-methyl-butyl)-7-methoxy-8- (3-methyl-but-2-enyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (IV), 7-methoxy-8-(3'-methyl-but-2'-enyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (V).
CONCLUSION
These compounds were isolated from the plant for the first time.
