Chemical constituents from roots of Ardisia punctata

Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the roots of Ardisia punctata.Method: Compounds were isolated by chromatographic techniques on silica gel and Rp-HPLC column.Their structures were elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic methods.Result: Twelve compounds were identified as 3-hydroxy-5-tridecyl-methyl phenyl ether(1),5-pentadecyl-1,3-benzenediol(2),2-methoxy-6-tridecyl-1,4-benzoquinone(3),2-methoxy-6-pentadecyl-1,4-benzoquinone(4),glutinol(5),ardisicrenoside A(6),ardisiacrispin B(7),24-ethyl-5α-cholesta-7,22(E)-dien-3-one(8),24-ethyl-5α-cholesta-7, 22(E)-dien-3β-ol(9),daucosterol(10),vanillin acid(11),tetratriacontanoic acid(12).Conclusion: All the compounds were obtained from this plant for the first time.
