Abstract:
Ten compounds were isolated from the 95% ethanol extract of the stem bark of
Toona sinensis by silica gel, ODS Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies and preparation TLC methods. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and chemical properties as betulinic acid(
1 ), stigmastane-3, 6-dione(
2 ), stigmast-4-en-3-one(
3 ), 7
β-hydroxysitosterol(
4 ), 6-hydroxystigmast-4-en-3-one(
5 ), stigmast-4-ene-3
β, 6
β-diol(
6 ), ergosterol peroxide(
7 ), 7-methoxy-2-(3, 4-methylenedioxyphenyl)benzofuran-5-carboxylate(
8 ), canthin-6-one(
9 ), and
α-acetylamino-phenylpropyl
α-benzoylamino phenylpropionate(
10 ). All compounds were isolated from
T. sinensis for the first time.
