Chemical constituents of Bidens bipinnata

Objective To study the chemical constituents of Bidens bipinnata and search for bioactive natural products, which have the anticancer and antiinflammation activities. Methods The six compounds were isolated by a combination of silica gel, reversed phase silica gel column chromatography, and polyamide column chromatography. Their structures were identified by spectral methods. Results Ten compounds were isolated and six structures were identified. They are trideca-2-β-D-glucopyranosyl-1, 13-dihydroxy-3 (E), 11 (E)-en-5, 7, 9-triyne (Ⅰ), trideca -2-β-D-glucopyranosyl-1, 13-dihydroxy-11 (E)-dien-3, 5, 7, 9-tetrayne (Ⅱ), hyperoside (Ⅲ), 6-O-(3″, 6″-diacetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-6, 7, 3′, 4′-(tetrahydroxyaurone) (Ⅳ), 6-O-(6″-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-6, 7, 3′, 4′-tetrahydroxyaurone (Ⅴ), 6-O-(4″, 6″-diacetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-6, 7, 3′, 4′-tetrahydroxyaurone (Ⅵ). Conclusion Compound Ⅱ is a novel compound, compound Ⅴ is isolated from this plant for the first time.
