Abstract
Katsura tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum Sieb. Et Zucc) leaves were collected, air-dried and extracted with 70% aqueous acetone, then concentrated and sequentially fractionated using n-hexane, methylene chloride ($CH_2Cl_2$), ethylacetate (EtOAc), and $H_2O$. The EtOAc fraction was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column with various aqueous MeOH eluting solvents and finally treated with acetone-$H_2O$ (7:3, v/v) to isolate a gallotannin. According to the NMR analysis, including HSQC and HMBC, and with the comparison of authentic literature data, the isolate was elucidated as 6-m-digalloyl-1,2,3,4-tetra-O-galloyl ${\beta}$-D-(+)-glucose, one of hydrolyzable tannins and one of gallotannins. The compound was only gallotannin which was firstly isolated from the extracts of Katsura tree leaves, and has not been reported before in domestic tree sources.
