A fração lipídica do extrato hexânico das raízes de Trigonia fasciculata foi analisada por CG/EM sob a forma de seus ésteres metílicos, identificando-se dezessete ácidos graxos, sendo o ácido oléico (38,8%) o principal componente. A análise por CG/EM da fração menos polar da parte insaponificável do extrato hexânico das raízes permitiu identificar quinze sesquiterpenos não oxigenados, sendo o α-santaleno (28,4%) o componente majoritário. Cromatografia em gel de sílica da fração mais polar permitiu o isolamento de dois triterpenos conhecidos, ácido betulínico e friedelina, e o diterpeno inédito 7-(2-hidroxiacetil)-10-hidroxitetradecaidro-1-metileno-4b,7,10a-trimetilfenantreno (6α-hidroxi-15-oxo-allodevadarool). Todas as substâncias isoladas e identificadas são inéditas para a espécie. A determinação estrutural foi realizada por derivatização química, comparação com dados da literatura, análise espectral, incluíndo RMN 2D (COSY, HETCOR e COLOC), e cristalografia de raios X.The fatty portion of the hexane extract from roots of Trigonia fasciculata has been determined by GC/MS analysis of the methyl ester mixture. Seventeen fatty acids were identified and oleic acid (38.8%) was the major component. The GC/MS analysis of the less polar fraction of the nonsaponifiable part of the root hexane extract allowed the identification of fifteen sesquiterpenes and α-santalene (28.4%) was the major component. Chromatography over silica gel of the more polar fraction allowed the isolation of two known compounds: betulinic acid and friedelin, and a novel diterpene 7-(2-hydroxy-acetyl)-10-hydroxy-tetradecahydro-1-methylene-4b,7,10a-trimethylphenantrene (6α-hydroxy-15-oxo-allodevadarool), all unknown for the species. Structure determination was accomplished by chemical derivatization, comparison to literature data and spectral analysis, including 2D NMR (COSY, HETCOR, COLOC) and X-ray crystallography. Keywords Results and DiscussionTFRH, the clear viscous brownish extract obtained after hexane extraction of ground roots of T. fasciculata, yielded a precipitate after standing at room temperature. Silica gel chromatography column of the precipitate allowed the isolation of friedelin and betulinic acid. Coarse chromatography of the mother liquor yielded a non-polar fraction after elution with hexane designated TFRH(1). Hydrolysis with KOH/EtOH 1:1 solution, yielded the free fatty acids mixture (TFRH(1)/FA) and a unsaponifiable 407 Fatty Acids and Terpenoids from Trigonia fasciculata Vol. 14, No. 3, 2003 portion (TFRH(1)/NS) after usual work up. Methylation of an aliquot of TFRH(1)/FA with BF 3 /MeOH 14% solution followed by GC/MS analysis of the methyl ester mixture allowed the identification of the fatty acids listed in the Experimental Section. Silica gel chromatography of TFRH(1)/NS yielded a yellowish fraction by elution with hexane. 1 H and 13 C NMR analysis indicated its terpenoid character. GC/MS analysis of this fraction, followed by comparison of the mass spectra obtained for each compound with a computer library data ban...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
