Abstract

The study on phytochemical analysis and the biological activity of Kalopanacis Cortex was carried out in this research. As a phytochemical result, liriodendrin as a lignan glycoside was isolated and characterized. Two subfraction separated from the acidic substance of $CHCl_3$ fraction were saturated and unsaturated fatty acid, respectively. Saturated fatty acid mixture identified from GC-MS tool was as follows: palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid, heneicosanoic acid, docosanoic acid, tricosanoic acid, tetracosanoic acid, pentacosanoic acid, hexacosanoic acid and octacosanoic acid. Unsaturated fatty acid was found to be linoleic acid on the basis of spectroscopic method. An active principle of liriodendrin exhibited significant antihepatotoxic activity but failed to show a considerable antiedemic activity. In this paper, the result of writhing test on liriodendrin was also described.
