Ethyl acetate-soluble chemical constituents from whole plantsof Senecio chrysanthemoides

To investigate the chemical constituents from the whole plants of Senecio chrysanthemoides.The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by chromatographic techniques over silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, preparative TLC and preparative HPLC. Structures of the compounds were identified by NMR and MS spectroscopic methods.Twenty five compounds were obtained and their structures were elucidated as seneciphyline (1), senecionine (2) , 1,2-dihydrocacalohastine (3) , eu-desm-4( 15)-ene-1beta,6alpha-diol (4), 7,11,15-trimethyl- 3methylidenehexadecane-1,2-diol (5), faradiol 3-O-palmitate (6),maniladiol 3-O-palmitate (7), faradiol (8), maniladiol (9), beta-amyrin (10), alpha-amyrin (11), betulin (12), loranthol (13), (+)-syringaresinol (14) , 1-hydroxy-4-oxo-cyclohexane-1-acetate (15), 2, 6-dimethoxy-p-benzoquinone (16), stigmasta-5, 22-dien-3beta-hydroxy-7-one (17) , stigmasta-5, 22-dien-7-one (18) , stigmasta-4-en-3-one (19), stigmasta-4,22-dien-3-one (20), beta-sitosterol (21), stigmasterol (22), daucosterol (23), glycerol 1-hendecanoate (24), and methyl hendecanoate (25).Compounds 5-9,13, 17-20 and 24 were obtained from the genus Senecio for the first time.
