Abstract

Three sesquiterpene lactone compounds, two novel(1β, 3β-dihydroxy-6β, 11β, 4α, 5α, 7αH-eudesm-12,6-olide-1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, 1β, 3β-dihydroxy-6β, 4β, 5α, 7αH-eudesm-11 en-12,6-olide-1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside) and 1β, 3β-dihydroxy-6β, 11β, 4α, 5α, 7αH-eudesm-12,6-olide were isolated from the aqueous fraction of MeOH extract of the roots fromTaraxacum hallaisanensis (Compositae) employing Amberlite XAD-2, ODS-gel, silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographics. Another known compound, (−)-epicatechin, was isolated from the aqueous fraction of the MeOH extract. The total MeOH extract also contained phytosterol and a mixture of β-amyrin acetate, α-amyrin acetate and lupeol acetate. Structures of isolated compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic parameters of IR, Mass,13C-NMR,1H-NMR,1H-1H COSY,13C-1H COSY and HMBC.
