芝麻花化学成分的研究

芝麻花为胡麻科植物胡麻Sesamum indicum L.(S.orientale L.)的干燥花,有生发、消肿之功效,可治疗脱发、冻疮、便秘等。民间单方芝麻花治疗寻常疣、扁平疣等,均有满意的疗效。目前人们对芝麻种子的化学成分研究较多,但尚没有人对芝麻花的化学成分进行系统研究。本研究运用硅胶柱、凝胶柱、反相柱等多种色谱方法进行分离纯化,并根据理化性质和波谱数据鉴定化合物的结构。从其乙醇提取物的乙酸乙酯和正丁醇部位分别得到10个化合物,分别鉴定为latifonin (1),苦瓜脑苷(momor-cerebroside,2),大豆脑苷II(soya-cerebroside II,3),1-O-β-D-葡糖-(2S,3S,4R,5E,9Z)-2-n-(2′-羟基二十四碳酰氨基)-1,3,4-三羟基-十八碳-5,9-二烯［1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S,3S,4R,5E,9Z)-2-n-(2′-hydroxytetra-cosanoyl) 1,3,4-trihydroxy-5,9-octadienine,4］,1-O-β-D-葡糖-(2S,3S,4R,8Z)-2N-(2′-羟基二十四碳酰氨基)-3,4-二-羟基-8-十八碳烯［1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S,3S,4R,8Z)-2-n-(2′R) 2′-hydroxytetracosanoyl)-3,4-dihydroxy-8-octadene,5］,2-乙酰橙酰胺［(2S,1″S)-aurantiamide acetate,6］,苯基乙醇-O-(2′-O-β-D-吡喃鼠李糖,3′-O-β-D-吡喃葡糖)-β-D-吡喃葡糖［benzyl alcohol-O-(2′-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl, 3′-O-β-D-glucopyranoside)-β-D-glucopyranoside,7］,β-谷甾醇(8),胡萝卜苷(9),D-半乳糖醇(10)。其中化合物4为新化合物,所有化合物均为首次从该植物的花中分离得到。

Chemical constituents from Flos Sesamum indicum L.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L. ) belongs to Pedaliaceae, and its dry flowers have been used to cure alopecia, frostbite and constipation as a Traditional Chinese Medicine. Interestingly, the Flos Sesamum indicum L. was usually used to cure verruca vulgaris and verruca plana in folk of China, and showed a pleasant result. Previous chemical investigations of this plant mainly concentrate on its seeds, showed the presence of proteins and fat oils, herein we make a systematic chemical research on the dry flowers of this plant. Column chromatography including silica gel, C18 and Sephadex LH-20 were used to separate the chemical constituents and the structures were determined by chemical and spectroscopic methods. Ten compounds were isolated from the 95% ethanol extract of the plant and elucidated as latifonin (1), momor-cerebroside (2), soya-cerebroside II (3), 1-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S, 3S, 4R, 5E,9Z)-2-N-(2'-hydroxytetracosanoyl) 1,3,4-trihydroxy-5,9-octadienine (4), 1-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S, 3S, 4R, 8Z)-2-N-(2' R) 2'-hydroxytetracosanoyl) 3,4-dihydroxy-8-octadene (5), (2S, 1" S) -aurantiamide acetate (6), benzyl alcohol-O-(2'-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl, 3'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (7), beta-sitosterol (8), daucosterol (9) and D-galacititol (10). Among them, 4 is a new compound, and others were isolated from the flowers of the plant for the first time. Compounds 2 to 4 belong to cerebroside, which is rare to be found in land plants and was proved to possess many bioactivities.
