Objective: To study the chemical components from the ethanol extract of Acori Calami Rhizoma from Hunan Province.
Methods: Components were isolated and purified through various chromatographic methods and recrystallization, and identified by spectroscopic data.
Results: Ten compounds were isolated and identified as follows: heptadecanoic acid(1), monopentadecanoin(2), syringic acid(3), aurantiamide acetate(4), monononadecanoin(5),tatarine A(6),tatanan C(7),cerevisterol(8),2 ,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl acetate(9) and palmatine(10).
Conclusion: Compounds 1-5 and 8-10 are isolated from Acorus genus for the first time, and compounds 1-5 and 7-10 are isolated from this plant for the first time.
