There are 8 species belonging to the
Rindera genus in Central Asia.
Rindera oblongifolia M. Popov is an endemic species widely distributed in the mountain and
sub-mountain regions of Central Asia. This plant grows, in the Pskem mountain and
sub-mountain regions of the Tashkent region of Uzbekistan [1]. In our previous work,
four alkaloids: exinatine, N-oxide trachelantamine as well as new alkaloids rinderidine
and oblongifolidin were isolated from
R. oblongifolia M. Popov [2].
Secondary metabolites of
R. oblongifolia M. Popov collected from the Tashkent
region were extracted in 80% ethyl alcohol using an ultrasonic extractor. The obtained
alcohol extract was divided into four parts: chloroform, ethylacetate, n-butanol and
water part., A white powdery substance was isolated by column chromatography using
silica gel (100-160 μm) and eluting with chloroform: methanol (100:2) from fractions
60-71 of the ethyl acetate part. The temperature of melting point was 70-71OC. The
chemical structure of isolated compound was established as trachelantic acid by 1D and
2D NMR spectroscopy and mass-spectrometry.
Structure of trachelantic acid
Trachelantic acid was first time isolated from the
Rindera oblongifolia M. Popov.
