[Research on Chemical Constituents and Anti-tumor Activity of Eupatorium chinense].

To study the chemical constituents and their anti-tumor activity of Eupatorium chinense. Methods: The chemical constituents were separated and purified by the normal phase silica gel column chromatography,preparative thin-layer chromatography,and preparative HPLC. Their structures were determined by various spectral data,their antitumor activity in vitro was determined by MTT assay. Results: Six compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of Eupatorium chinense,and the structures were identified as eupalinilide G( 1),8β-( 4’-hydroxytigloyloxy)-5-desoxy-8-desacyleuparotin( 2),3-( hydroxymethyl)-1,13,14,15-tetrahydroxy-7,11,15-trimethyl-2,6,10-hexadecatriene( 3),3-( hydroxymethyl)-1,13,15-trihydroxy-7,11,15-trimethyl-2,6,10-hexadecatrien-14-yl acetate( 4),eupafolin( 5) and hiyodorilactone B( 6). Compound 2 showed cytotoxicity against HGC-27 and B16 cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 4. 29 μg/m L and 5. 53 μg/m L,respectively.
