摘要
Objective To investigate the steroidal chemical constituents from the whole plants of Physalis minima. Methods The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by repeated silica gel column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 gel column chromatography, medium pressure ODS column chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of physico-chemical properties and spectral analysis. Results Seven compounds were separated from the whole plant of P. minima, among them, two compounds were identified as physalins and named as 16,24-cyclo-13,14-secoergost-2-ene-18,26- dioicacid-14:17,14:27-diepoxy-5α,6β,13α,20α,22β,25β-hexahydroxy-1,15-dioxo-γ-lactone-δ-lactone (1) and physalin D (2); The other five compounds were identified as withanlides and named as physagulin L (3), physagulin M (4), physaminimin F (5), physagulin K (6), and withagulatin A (7). Conclusion Compound 1 is a new compound named 25-hydroxy-physalin D, at the same time, compounds 3, 4, and 7 were obtained from this plant for the first time.
