A new natural jasmonoid glucoside isolated from Euphorbia hirta L. extract

Abstract

Euphorbia hirta L., one of the species belonging to the genus Euphorbia, Euphorbiaceae family, is common in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. The present study was designed to investigate the phytochemicals of Euphorbia hirta L. collected in Can Tho city. Repeated chromatography of the methanol fraction on silica gel columns afforded a jasmonoid glucoside sodium salt, a new compound, while four known compounds were isolated from ethyl acetate extract. Their structures were elucidated by analysis of spectral data and in comparison with the published literature data.
