Chemical constituents of Dipentodon sinicus

Objective To study the chemical constituents from Dipentodon sinicus. Methods Isolation and purification were carried out on silica gel column and Sephadex LH-20, the structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical evidences and spectral analysis. Results Nine compounds were isolated and their structures were identified as n-1-triacontanol (Ⅰ), β-sitosterol (Ⅱ), pyrocatechol (Ⅲ), p-dihydroxyl benzene (Ⅳ), coniferyl aldehyde (Ⅴ), vanillic acid (Ⅵ), ergosterol peroxide (Ⅶ), β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucosides-3'-O-tritriacontanate (Ⅷ), and daucosterol (Ⅸ). Conclusion All the nine compounds are isolated from the title plant for the first time, among them, compound Ⅷ is a new compound named as dipentosinin.
