Abstract

The repeated silica gel colum chromatographies of n-BuOH fraction obtained from MeOH extracts of Eucommia ulmoides leaves led to isolation of a flavonoid-glycoside inhibiting monoamine oxidase B activity. Its chemical structure was determined to be $3-O-[{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl\;(1{\rightarrow}2)\;{\beta}-D-xylopyranosyl]$ quercetin through interpretation of spectral data and adaptation of acid hydrolysis. The $IC_{50}$ value of this compound in rat brain mitochondrial MAO-B inhibitory activity was evaluated to be $8.05\;{\mu}mol/l$.

두충잎으로부터 얻은 MeOH 추출물의 n-BuOH 분획으로부터 silica gel column chromatography를 반복하여 monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) 억제 활성을 갖는 flavonoid 배당체를 분리하였다. 화합물의 화학구조를 스펙트럼 데이터의 해석과 산가수분해반응을 이용하여 $3-O-[{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl\;(1{\rightarrow}2)\;{\beta}-D-xylopyranosyl]\;quercetin$으로 결정하였다. 이 화합물의 MAO-B 억제활성에 있어서의 $IC_{50}$ 값은 $8.05\;{\mu}mol/l$로 측정되었다.
