Chemical Constituents from the Root and Stem of Zanthoxylum avicennae

Abstract:

Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the root and stem of Zanthoxylum avicennae. Method: The constituents were separated by column chromatography, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analyses. Result: Fourteen compounds were isolated from the EtOAc extract and identified as Avicennin (1), Xanthoxyletin (2), Luvangetin (3), Norchelerythrine (4), Diisobutyl phthalate (5), β-amyrin (6), Lupeol (7), Chelerythrine (8), Dictamine (9), γ-fagarine (10) and Skimmianine (11), Sesamin (12) Syringaresinol (13) and P-hydroxybenzoic acid (14). Conclusion: The compounds 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12 and 14 were obtained from this plant for the first time.
