Study on Chemical Constituents from Tobacco Leaves

Abstract

[Objective] To study the chemical constituents from tobacco leaves. [Method] The constituents were isolated and purified by silica gel and TLC. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopy. [Result] Eight compounds were isolated and identified as tetracosane(I), 4-hydroxyphenethyl icosanoate(II), β-sitosterol(III), stigmasterol(IV), scopolin(V), stigmasterol-3-O-glucopyranoside (VI), solanesol(VII), scopoletin(VIII). [Conclusion] Compounds I-VI were isolated from this plant for the first time.
