Abstract:

In order to study the chemical constituents from the stems of Schima superba Gardn. et Champ, the chemical constituents were isolated and purified by chromatography on silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 column and HPLC. As a result, nine lignans were isolated and identified as syringaresinol (1), pinoresinol (2), lariciresinol (3), balanophonin (4), 3-acetoxymethyl-5-[(E)-2-formylethen-1-yl]-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-7-methoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (5), 4,9-dihydroxy-3,5'-dimethoxy-4',7-epoxy-8,5'-neolignane-9'-yl acetate (6), dihydrodehydrodiconifery alcohol (7), isolariciresinol (8), and 1-(3,4-dimethoxy phenyl)-2-O-(2-methoxy-4-omegahydroxy propylphenyl)propane-1, 3-diol (9) on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. All these compounds were reported from this plant for the first time.
