Abstract:Objective : To study the chemical constituents of the leaves of Aquilaria sinensis. Method : The compounds were isolated and purified by the methods of solvent extraction and chromatographic technique,and their structures were identified on the basis of the analyses of spectral data. Result : Eleven compounds were obtained and identified as β-sitosterol( 1 ),hexacosanic acid( 2 ),cryptotanshinone( 3 ), 2α-hydroxyursane( 4 ),dihydrotanshinone I( 5 ),tanshinone I( 6 ),tanshinone IIA ( 7 ),2α-hydroxyursolic acid( 8 ), p-hydroxybenzoic acid( 9 ),hydroquinone( 10 ),and daucosterol( 11 ),respectively. Conclusion : All compounds except for compound 9 were isolated from the leaves of A. sinensisfor the first time.
