[A new flavan-3-ol from Sargentodoxae Caulis].

Sargentodoxae Caulis was extracted with 80% ethanol and separated by macroporous resin, MCI, and ODS column chromatography and semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography. The structures of the compounds were identified based on the NMR and MS data. A total of 19 compounds were identified as parabaroside D(1),(R)-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(2),(S)-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(3), protocatechin-3-O-β-D-glucoside(4), p-hydroxybenzoate-β-D-glucopyranoside(5), gentisic-5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(6), vanillic acid 4-O-β-D-glucoside(7), syringic acid glucoside(8), uracil(9), uridine(10), neochlorogenic acid(11), chlorogenic acid(12), cryptochlorogenic acid(13), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol glucoside(14), cuneataside A(15), cuneataside C(16), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone-4-O-β-D-apiose-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside(17), proanthocyanidin B2(18), and baimantuoluoamide B(19). Compound 1 was a new flavan-3-ol, and compounds 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, and 19 were isolated from this plant for the first time. Compounds 2 and 3 were a pair of epimers. Compound 14 had the highest anti-inflammatory activity.
