Objective: To study the chemical constituents of Callicarpa nudiflora.
Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH-20 and MPLC. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical properties and special analysis.
Results: Eleven compounds were isolated from the leaves of Callicarpa nudiflora, whose structures were elucidated as 2α,3α-dihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid (1), isorhamnetin (2), 2α,3β,19α-trihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid(3), 2α,3α,19α,23-tetrahydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid(4), 2α,3α,19α-trihyhydroxy-olean-12-en-28-O-α-D-glucopyranoside (5), benzyl-4'-hydroxy-benzoyl-3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(6) (3S,5R,6R,7E,9S)-megastigman-7-ene-3,5,6,9-tetrol(7), philonotisflavone(8), 1, 6-di-O-caffeoyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (9), luteolin-4'-O-(6"-E-caffeoyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (10), and (6S, 9R)-roseoside(11).
Conclusion: All compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time.
