Chemical constituents from the Hydrangea chinensis

Arch Pharm Res. 2003 Jan;26(1):15-20. doi: 10.1007/BF03179924.

Abstract

Two quinazolone alkaloids, (+)-febrifugine (1) and isofebrifugine (2), along with three coumarin derivatives, 6-hydroxy coumarin (3), skimmin (5), and umbelliferone-7-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->4)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (6), were isolated from the roots of Hydrangea chinensis. Compound 6 is a new compound. In addition, umbelliferone (4), linoleic acid (7), two steroidal glycosides (8, 9), three furfural derivatives (10-12), and butyl-beta-D-fructofuranoside (13) were isolated from the leaves of the same plant. The structures of all isolates were elucidated by spectral methods.
