宽叶泽苔草萜类化学成分分析及其化学分类学意义

宽叶泽苔草Caldesia grandis隶属泽泻科Alismataceae,是一种珍稀濒危水生植物。其化学成分迄今未见报道。本文利用气质联用的方法鉴定了该植物的43种化学成分,并总结了已报道的其近缘泽泻属Alisma、慈姑属Sagittaria、刺果泽泻属Echinodorus植物的化学成分,据此进行化学分类学分析:它们的特征化学成分是二萜,宽叶泽苔草和泽泻属植物的二萜成分是处于二萜生源合成途径最顶端的kaurane类型;慈姑属植物的二萜成分既有处于该途径底端的clerodane型、中间的pimarene型,也有顶端的kaurane型、abietene型二萜;刺果泽泻属植物的二萜成分是处于该途径底端的clerodane型。宽叶泽苔草和泽泻属植物都有桉叶烷型和愈创木烷型的倍半萜。因此宽叶泽苔草和泽泻属植物的亲缘关系比慈姑属、刺果泽泻属植物的近,由此推测它们的进化层次可能依次是刺果泽泻属植物、慈姑属植物、泽泻属植物、宽叶泽苔草。

Chemical analysis of diterpenoids in Caldesia grandis and its chemotaxonomic implication

Caldesia grandis is a rare and endangered aquatic plant of the Alismataceae family. This paper first reports 43 chemical components of C. grandis based on the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and reviews research on the chemical compositions of some closely related genera such as Alisma, Sagittaria, and Echinodorus. Their common chemical components are diterpenoids. Kaurane diterpenoids are found in Caldesia, Alisma and Sagittaria; clerodane diterpenoids in Sagittaria and Echinodorus; and pimarene and abietene diterpenoids in Sagittaria. By the biogenesis of diterpenoids, kaurane and abietene diterpenoids represent evolutionarily derived compounds, clerodane diterpenoids are primordial, and pimarene diterpenoids are intermediate. The chemotaxonomy, karyotypical analysis and fossil records of those genera showed that Caldesia was evolutionarily closer to Alisma than to Sagittaria and Echinodorus. Possible evolution levels of Echinodorus, Sagittaria, Alisma, Caldesia in chronological order are derived.
