Methods The constituents of D. triquetrumwere isolated and purified using various column chromatographies. Their chemical structures were elucidated using extensive spectroscopic methods. The lipid-lowering effects of the isolates were evaluated in HepG2 cells. Results Nine compounds were obtained from the ethanol extract of D. triquetrum and determined to be 6'-O-cis-p-coumaroyl- 3,5-dihydroxyphenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), tadehaginoside (2), rutin (3), quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), quercetin-3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (5), 6-O-(E)-p-hydroxy-cinnamoyl-β-glucose (6), 6-O-(E)-p-hydroxy-cinnamoyl-α-glucose (7), kaempferol-3-O-β-D-rutinoside (8), and 3-O-β-D-galacopyranosyl (6-1)-α-L- rhamnosyl quercetin (9). Compounds 1 and 2 significantly reduced the intracellular content of total cholesterols and triglycerides. Conclusion Compound 1 is a new phenolic compound and exhibits potent anti-hyperlipidemic activity. Additionally, compounds 6 and 7 are isolated from D. triquetrum for the first time.展开更多
