TAILIEUCHUNG - Study of Dracaena angustifolia
The MeOH extract of Nam ginseng (roots and rhizomes of Dracaena angustifolia) afforded three new spirostanol sapogenins, named namogenins A-C (1-3). Their structures were determined on basis of spectral analyses and chemical methods. | Journal of Chemistry, Vol. 42 (1), P. 122 - 124, 2004 STUDY OF DRACAENA ANGUSTIFOLIA I - NEW SPIROSTANOL SAPOGENINS FROM ROOTS AND RHIZOMES Received 15-1-2003 TRAN LE QUAN,1 TRAN KIM QUI,1 SHIGETOSHI KADOTA2 1 College of Natural Sciences, National University–Hochiminh City, Hochiminh City 2 Institute of Natural Medicine, Toyama Medical & Pharmaceutical University, Toyama, Japan #$a ch% liên l&c: GS.

Their structures were determined on basis of spectral analyses and chemical methods. I. INTRODUCTION Dracaena angustifolia Roxb. (Dracaenaceae) is locally known as Nam ginseng (ginseng from the South) in Quang Nam province. Its underground parts are used as tonic and for treatment of In our continuing studies on Vietnamese medicinal plants, we have examined the constituents of Nam ginseng (D. angustifolia) and isolated three new spirostanol sapogenins. This paper reports the isolation and structure elucidation of these new compounds. 122 II. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Air-dried roots and rhizomes of D. angustifolia were extracted successively by refluxing MeOH, 50% aqueous MeOH and water to give MeOH, MeOH-H2O and H2O extracts, respectively. The MeOH extract was subjected to Diaion HP-20 column chromatography (CC). The MeOH eluate was further separated by a combination of silica gel and ODS column chromatographies, and normal- and reversed-phase pTLC, to afford three new compounds, named namogenins A-C (1-3). Negative-ion HRFABMS of 1 displayed a quasi-molecular ion at m/z , indicating the molecular formula C27H42O6. The 1H NMR spectrum of 1 showed signals ascribable to two tertiary methyls and three secondary methyls, while the 13C NMR spectrum of 1 showed thirty-five signals (Table
