Diarylheptanoids from the stem bark of Alnus hirsuta var. sibirica

물갬나무수피의 Diarylheptanoids

Chemical investigation of the stem bark of Alnus hirsuta Turcz var. sibirica (Betulaceae), one of the indigenous Alnus species growing in Korea has led to the isolation of five diarylheptanoids. Structures of these compounds were identified as hirsutenone (1), hirsutanonol (2), oregonin (3), (5S)-1,$7-bis-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-heptan-3-one-5-0-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (4) and (5R)-1,$7-bis-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-heptane-5-0-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (5) by the analysis of spectroscopic evidences and comparison with the data of authentic samples.
