Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the chemical constituents from herbs of Erigeron breviscapus. METHOD: The compounds were isolated and purified by various chromatographic techniques. Their structures were identified on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectral analysis. RESULT: Twelve compounds were isolated and structurally identified as quercetin-3-O-beta-D-glucoside (1), 5, 7-dihydroxychromone (2), 3-O-caffeoyl-gamma-quinide (3), naringenin (4), 3, 5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (5), 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (6), 4, 5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (7), 1,3-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (8), 1, 5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (9), 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid (10), 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid (11) and chlorogenic acid (12). CONCLUSION: Compounds 1-4 were isolated from this plant for the first time.
