Abstract A new phenolic glycoside, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid 4-O-(4′-O-methyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), was isolated from the roots of Lygodium japonicum. The structure was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Keywords: Lygodium japonicum; 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid 4-O-(4′-O-methyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside; Spectroscopic methods
1. Plant Lygodium japonicum (Thunb.) Sw. (Lygodiaceae), roots collected in Wuhu City, Anhui province of China, in November 2003 were identified by Prof. M. J. Qin (China Pharmaceutical University). A voucher specimen (no. 20031112) was deposited in the Herbarium of China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing, PR China. 2. Uses in traditional medicine The roots of L. japonicum (Chinese name ‘Hai-Jin-Sha’) are used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of pneumonia, acute gastroenteritis, dysentery, and urinary tract infection [1]. 3. Previously isolated constituents Some plant growth regulators such as gibberellin A9 methyl ester, gibberellin A73 methyl ester, and phenolic acids were isolated from the spores of L. japonicum [2–7]. 4. New-isolated constituents 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid 4-O-(4′-O-methyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (1, Fig. 1) (120 mg from 5.8 kg of plant material), white needles (MeOH), mp 205–207 °C; [α]27D − 87.2° (c 0.065, MeOH); UV max (MeOH): 213 nm; IR ⁎ Corresponding author.
