Journal of Shandong University, 2013,48(7):20-3. | Chemical constituents of Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. and their acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity[Reference: WebLink] | METHODS AND RESULTS: Chemical constituents from Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. (Zingiberaceae) rhizome were isolated and purified by column chromatography (silica gel, RP silica gel MPLC, HPLC) and their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral analyses. Six compounds were identified by MS and NMR spectroscopy as zederone(I), beta-sitosterol(II), Guai-1(10),3,5,7(11),8-pentaen-2-on-11,8-olide(III), Curcumadione(IV), Curcumenone (V), Cuparenol (VI). Compound III and VI were isolated for the first time from the plants of Zingiberaceae, and compound IV and V were isolated from Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. for the first time. Meanwhile, the acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of the isolated compounds was evaluated.
CONCLUSIONS:
Compounds IV and VI showed certain inhibitory activity, the minimum inhibitory quantity of IV on TLC bioautography test was 95ug. |
