Abstract:

In order to provide the reference for the further studies of Senecio laetus Edgew.,we dovote to investigate the chemical constituents from the whole plant of S. laetus.The silica gel,sephadex LH-20 and MCI gel were used for the isolation and the purification of compounds of the ethanol extract of S. laetus.Afterwards,the spectroscopic methods (1H NMR,13C NMR) were used for the structural identification.The toxicity of two alkaloids 1 and 8 to hepatocytes were evaluated by MTT.And the antifungal activity was evaluated by agar plate drilling method.Eleven compounds were isolated from ethanol extract of the S. laetus and identified as othosenine (1),2-(4-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl) syringylpropane-1,3-diol (2),eleutheroside E (3),syringin (4),isorhamnetin-3-O-β-D-galactoside (5),quercetin-3-O-β-D-rhamnoside (6),stigmasta-5,22-dien-3β-ol (7),otosenine (8),isorhamnetin (9),quercetin (10),caffeoyl acetate (11).Compounds 1 and 2 were isolated for the first time from the genus Senecio,and compounds 3,4,7 and 11 were isolated from S. laetus firstly.Compound 1 is a new natural product and it′s NMR data was reported for the first time.The two pyrrolizidine alkaloids 1 and 8 showed no toxicity to normal hepatocytes cell line L-02.Compounds 1,7 and 8 showed excellent synergistic antibacterial effect on Candida albicans resistant strains when combined with fluconazole.
