작약의 지상부인 잎과 줄기에서 물질을 분리 동정하기 위해 MeOH 추출 및 column chromatograpy하여 단일 물질 5종을 분리하였으며, 분리한 물질에 대하여 IR, UV, Mass, NMR 등을 이용하여 화학구조를 동정하였다. 그 결과 oleanolic acid, kaempferol, methyl gallate, astragalin, paeoniflorin의 구조가 확인되었으며 이들 화합물은 작약의 지상부인 잎과 줄기에서는 처음으로 분리되었다.
This study was conducted to identify physiologically active substances from leaves and stems of peony plant. MeOH extracts and column chromatography were employed to isolate active compounds and chemical structure were identified by IR, UV, Mass and NMR. The results obtained can be summerized as followings : Chemical structure of compound 1 was identified as oleanolic acid (white color form) of triterpenoid group, which is firstly identified from the above part of peony. Compound 2 was identified as kaempferol (yellow needle form) of flavonoid group, which was firstly identified from the root, leaf and stem of peony. Compound 3 was identified as methyl gallate (white power form) of phenol group, which was firstly identified from the above part of peony. Compound 4 was identified as astragalin (bright yellow needle form) of flavonoid group, that was firstly identified from the leaf and stem of peony. Compound 5 was identified as paeoniflorin (white color form) of monoterpene group, that was firstly identified from the above part of peony.
