OBJECTIVE
To study the anti-tumor active constituents from the rhizome of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis.
METHODS
The compounds were isolated by column chromatography with silica gel, and purified by Sephadex LH-20 columu chromafography and reverse-phase preparative, HPLC. The structures were identified by spectroscopic methods. The anti-tumor experiment in vitro, the MTT, was used to screen constituents of P. polyphalla var. yunnanensis.
RESULTS
Six compounds were obtained and their structures were identified as diosgenin-3-O-alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl (1-->4) -beta-D-glycopyranoside (1), pennogenin-3-O-alpha-L-arabino-furanosyl (1-->4)-beta-D-glycopyranoside (2), isorhamn etin-3-O-beta-D-glycopyranoside (3), ethyl-alpha-D-fructofuranoside (4), pennogenin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->4)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->2)]-beta-D-glycopyranoside (5) and pennogenin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->4)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->4)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->2)]-beta-D-glycopyranoside (6).
CONCLUSIONS
Compounds 1-4 were isolated from this plant for the first time, compounds 3 and 4 was firstly isolated from genus Paris, compound 5 was firstly isolated from the rhizome of this plant. The pharmacological results showed that compounds 1-3, 5 and 6 showed certain inhibition, especially, the activities of compound 5 and 6 were the most significant.
