Chemical constituents from Stauntonia brachyanthera Hand–Mazz

The present phytochemical investigations of Stauntonia brachyanthera Hand–Mazz resulted in the isolation of a triterpenoid glucoside (3-O-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-Akebonic acid, 1), four phenylpropanoids (staunoside C, cyclo-olivil-9-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, ficuscarpanoside B, ficuscarpanoside A, 2–5), three phenylethanoid glycosides (2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl-β-d-glucopyranoside, 1′-O-phenethyl-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-β-d-glucopyranoside, calceolarioside B, 6–8), a phenolic glycoside (seguinoside K, 9) and a chlorogenic acid analogue (methyl chlorogenate, 10). Among them, compounds 1, 2 are isolated for the first time from this plant, compound 8 is firstly reported from genus Stauntonia and compounds 4–7, 9 and 10 are new for the family of Lardizabalacea. The chemotaxonomic importance of these compounds was also summarized.
