사자발쑥의 전초를 80% MeOH 용액으로 추출하고, 얻어진 추출물을 EtOAc, n-BuOH 및 물로 용매 분획 하였다. 이 중 EtOAc 분획으로부터 silica gel과 octadecyl silica gel(ODS)column chromatography로 정제하여 2종의 phenylpropanoids 화합물을 분리하였다. 각 화합물의 화학구조는 NMR, MS 및 IR등의 스펙트럼 데이터를 해석하여 eugenol(1) 및 (-)-sesamin(2)으로 동정하였다. 이 화합물들은 사자발쑥에서 처음 분리되었다. Eugenol(1)은 LDL-항산화활성 억제활성이 40 ${mu}g/ml$ 처리 농도에서 $87.8{pm}1.0%$로 나타났다.
Sajabalssuk (Artemisia princeps PAMPANINI) was extracted with 80% aqueous MeOH, and the concentrated extract was partitioned with EtOAc, n-BuOH and $H_{2}O$, successively. From the EtOAc fraction, two phenylpropanoids were isolated through the repeated silica gel and ODS column chromatographies. From the results of physico-chemical data including NMR, MS and IR, the chemical structures of the phenylpropanoids were determined as eugenol (1) and (-)-sesamin (2). They were the first to be isolated from Sajabalssuk (Artemisia princeps PAMPANINI, Sajabalssuk). Also, eugenol inhibited LDL-oxidation with the inhibitory activity of 87.8 ${pm}$ 1.0% at a concentration of 40 ${mu}g/ml$.
