The NMR spectra of 4 were very similar to
those of 3 except for the additional signals of
the methoxyl group suggesting that 4 was a
derivative of 3. Three methoxyl groups at δ
3.88/136.2, 3.89/152,7, and 3.94/131,2, four
methine carbons at δ 7,90 /153,3, 6.48/93.9,
6.68/105,7, and δ 6.68/109,4 were identified
from 13C-NMR, DEPT 90, DEPT 135, and
HSQC spectra. The suggesting structure of 4
was shown in Fig. 1, and its NMR assignments
were assigned by comparing with the
corresponding data of 3′,5,7-trihydroxy-4′,5′,6
trimethoxyisoflavone (or irigenin) [6] and found
to match. Furthermore, the ESI mass spectrum
of 4 showed a quasi molecular ion peak at m/z
359 [M-H]-, corresponding to the molecular
formula of C18H16O8.
The 13C-NMR spectrum of 5 exhibited
signals of 9 carbon atoms. Of which, 6 signals at
δ 130.3 (C-2), 124.1 (C-3), 146.6 (C-4), 150.4
(C-5), 113.8 (C-6), and 109.8 (C-7) were
assigned for one aromatic ring, and three others
at δ 196.7, 26.17, and 56.12 were assigned for
the carbonyl, methyl, and methoxyl carbons,
respectively. The signals at δ 6.94 (d, J = 8.0
Hz), 7.54 (dd, J = 8.0, 1.8 Hz), and 7.53 (d, J =
1.8 Hz) in the 1H-NMR spectrum confirmed that
the aromatic ring was 1,3,4-tri-substituted. The
HMBC correlation between H-8 (δ 2.56) and C-
2 (δ 130.3), between H-6 (δ 6.94) and C-4 (δ
146.6), between H-7 (δ 7.54) and C-5 (δ 150.4),
and between methoxyl proton at δ 3.96 and C-4
were observed. In addition, the HMBC
correlation between H-7 and C-4 was not
observed. This evidence confirmed that the
hydroxyl, methoxyl, and carbonyl groups were
attached to C-5, C-4, and C-2 of the aromatic
ring, respectively. Furthermore, the ESI mass
spectrum of 5 showed a quasi molecular ion
peak at m/z 167 [M+H]+, corresponding to the
molecular formula of C9H10O3. Thus, compound
5 was identified as acetovanillone.

ABSTRACT
From the ethyl acetate extract of the rhizomes from Belamcanda chinensis (Iridaceae) five
compounds irisflorentin (1), tectorigenin (2), iristectorigenin A (3), irigenin (4), and
acetovanillone(5) were isolated. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. This
is first report of 5 from B. chinensis.
Keywords: Belamcanda chinensis, Iridaceae, acetovanillone.
I - INTRODUCTION
Belamcanda chinensis (L.) DC., is a
perennial shrub belonging to Iridaceae family. It
is widely distributed in the cold and wet
hillsides in Vietnam and in most parts of China,
Korea, Japan, India, and eastern of Russia. The
dried rhizomes have been used in Vietnamese
traditional and folk medicine as an anti-
inflammatory, antitussive, and expectorant agent
as well as against throat trouble [1]. In China, it
is an important traditional medicine used to treat
swelling and pain in the throat, cough and so on.
Previous phytochemical study on this plant led
to the iridal-type triterpenoids and isoflavonoids
in the rhizomes, and phenol, benzoquinones and
benzofurans in the seed [2, 3].
In our study, the ethyl acetate extract of the
rhizomes of B. chinensis exhibited the cytotoxic
activity against the hepatonema carcinoma cell
line (Hep-G2) with the IC50 value of 16.18μg/ml
and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococus
aureus with the MIC value of 100 μg/ml.
Further study on chemical constituents of this
extract led to the isolation of irisflorentin (1),
tectorigenin (2), iristectorigenin A (3), irigenin
(4), and acetovanillone (5).
II - MATERIALS AND METHODS
1. Plant material
The rhizomes of B. chinensis was collected
in Tamdao National Botanical Garden, Vietnam,
in February 2007 and identified by biologist
Ngo Van Trai, National Institute of Medicinal
Materials. A voucher specimen is deposited in
the Herbarium of Institute of Natural Products
Chemistry, Vietnam Academy of Science and
Technology.
2. General experimental procedures
The NMR spectra were recorded on a
Bruker AM500 FT-NMR spectrometer
(500MHz for 1H and 125MHz for 13C) using
TMS as an internal standard. The ESI mass
spectra were obtained using an AGILENT
spectrometer. The following adsorbents were
used for purification: TLC normal phase
Kieselgel 60 F254 (Merck 5554, 0.2 mm), CC:
normal phase Si gel (Merck, 0.063 - 0.200 mm).
The TLC chromatograms were visualized under
UV at 254 and 368 nm and sprayed with
624
solution of Ce(SO4)2 in H2SO4 65%.
3. Extraction and isolation
Air-dried powdered rhizomes of B. chinensis
(2 kg) were soaked successively in n-hexane
three times at room temperature to yield a n-
hexane extract (4.5 g). The residue was further
extracted with MeOH to give MeOH residue (65
g). The MeOH residue was diluted with H2O
and then extracted successively with EtOAc and
n-BuOH to give EtOAc (23 g) and n-BuOH (4.7
g) residue after removal of the solvents in
vacuo. The EtOAc (10 g) was subjected to a
column chromatography over silica gel using a
solvent system CHCl3–MeOH (99:1 to 90:10,
v/v) in stepwise gradient mode to afford ten sub-
fractions (B1- B10). The sub-fraction B2 (2.5g)
was further separated on a normal-phase silica
gel column eluting with CHCl3–MeOH (30:1,
v/v) to give compounds 1 (20 mg) as pale
yellow powder and 5 (200 mg) as white powder.
The sub-fraction B6 (3.5 g) was
chromatographied on a normal-phase silica gel
column eluting with CHCl3-MeOH (40:1, v/v) to
yield 8 smaller fractions (B6A to B6H).
Compounds 2 (12 mg) and 3 (7 mg) were
obtained as pale yellow plates from fraction
B6C (260 mg) by using a normal-phase silica
gel column eluting with CHCl3-MeOH (25:1,
v/v). Finally, compound 4 (20 mg) was obtained
as yellow powder from the fraction B6E (350
mg) by a normal-phase silica gel column eluting
with CHCl3-MeOH (20:1, v/v).

III - RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Compound 1 was obtained as pale yellow
powder from the EtOAc extract of the rhizomes.
In the 1H-NMR spectrum, three aromatic
protons were assigned at δ 6.56, 7.76 (each 1H,
singlet), and at δ 6.67 (2H, singlet), a
dioxymethylene group was confirmed by the
appearance of a singlet at δ 5.99 (2H), and four
methoxyl groups attaching aromatic rings at δ
4.00 (3H), 3.81 (6H), and 3.77 (3H) as singlets.
The connecting observation of the proton signal
at δ 7.76 with carbon signal at δ 150.8 in the
HSQC spectrum was assigned to H-2/C-2 of an
isoflavone [4]. The proton signal at δ 6.67 (2H)
had HSQC cross peak with only carbon signal at
δ 106.6, and two methoxyl groups at δ 3.81
(6H)/δ 56.0 suggesting that the B ring was a
tetra-substituted ring with two methoxyl groups
at C-3′ and C-5′ [4, 5]. The 13C-NMR spectrum
of 1 showed signals of 20 carbon atoms
including 4 methoxyl (δ 56.0 x 2, 60.9, and
60.6), 1 dioxymethylen (δ 102.1) and 15 carbon
atoms belonging to an isoflavone. In the HMBC
spectrum, the H-C long-range correlations
between H-2 (δ 7.76) to C-4 (δ 175.3), C-9 (δ
154.5) and C-1′ (δ 127.3), between H-8 (δ 6.56)
and C-9 (δ 154.5)/C-7 (δ 152.9)/C-6 (δ 135.2)/C-
10 (δ 113.4), and between dioxymethylene
proton at δ 5.99 and C-6 (δ 135.2)/C-7 (δ 152.9)
were observed confirming the A and C ring
assignments of a isoflavone with a
dioxymethylene group attached to C-6 and C-7.
Furthermore, proton H-2′ at δH 6.67 had HMBC
correlation with C-3 (δ 125.4)/C-3′ (δ 152.8)/C-
4′ (δ 137.9), methoxyl protons at δ 3.81 and
3.77 had HMBC correlations with C-3′ (δ 152.8)
and C-4′ (δ 137.9), respectively, confirming that
three methoxyl groups attached to C-3′, C-4′ and
C-5′, and two left protons were H-2′ and H-6′.
From the above data, the suggesting structure of
1 was showed in Fig. 1 with its molecular
formula as C20H18O8, which was further
confirmed by the exhibition of a quasi
molecular ion peak at m/z 385 [M-H]- in the
ESI mass spectrum. All the NMR data of 1 were
in good agreement with those of 5,3′,4′,5′-
tetramethoxy-6,7-methylenedioxyisoflavone or
irisflorentin, which was isolated from B.
chinensis [4, 5].
Compound 2 was obtained as pale yellow
plates, mp.235-236C. The presence of an
isoflavone skeleton was suggested from the UV
spectrum (λmax 259, 320nm). The 1H-NMR
spectrum of 2 showed signals at δ 6.84 (2H, dd,
J = 8.5, 1.5 Hz, H-3′, 5′) and 7.35 (2H, dd, J =
8.5, 1.5 Hz, H-2′, 6′) suggesting a para-
substitued ring, a singlet at δ 7.99 (1H, s)
assigned for H-2, the other singlet at δ 6.41 (1H,
s) suggested the A ring was penta-substituted,
and one methoxyl group at δ 3.87 (3H, s, OCH3-
6). The 13C-NMR spectrum showed signals of
16 carbon atoms, including one methoxyl and
15 carbons of the isoflavone, which were further
confirmed by DEPT 90, DEPT 135 and HSQC
spectra. In addition, the ESI mass spectrum
exhibited an ion peak at m/z 299 [M-H]+
corresponding to the molecular formula of
C16H12O6. All the NMR data of 2 were in good
agreement with those of 4′,5,7-trihydroxy-6-
methoxyisoflavone or tectorigenin [6], whose
molecular formula is C16H12O6.
Compound 3 was obtained as a pale yellow
plates. The UV, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra of 3
were similar to those of 2 suggesting that 3 was
an isoflavonoid. The proton signals at δ 6.88
(1H, d, J = 8.0 Hz, H-2′), 6.96 (1H, dd, J = 8.0,
2.0 Hz, H-6′), and 7.14 (1H, J = 2.0 Hz, H-5′)
confirmed that the B ring was 1,3,4-tetra-
subtitued, two singlets at δ 6.46 and 8.06 were
assigned for H-8 and H-2, respectively, and two
methoxyl groups were at δ 3.89 (3H, s, OCH3-6)
and 3.90 (3H, s, OCH3-4′). The 13C-NMR
spectrum of 3 exhibited signals of 17 carbon
atoms including two methoxyl groups at δ 56.4
(OCH3-4′) and 60.9 (OCH3-6), and the others
belonging to a isoflavone skeleton, confirming
by DEPT 90, DEPT 135, HSQC, and HMBC
spectra. Moreover, the ESI mass spectrum of 3
626
showed a quasi molecular ion peak at m/z 329
[M-H]+ corresponding to the molecular formula
of C17H14O7. On the basis of these data,
compound 3 was characterized as
iristectorigenin A or (4′,5,7-trihydroxy-3′,6
dimethoxyisoflavone) [6].

The NMR spectra of 4 were very similar to
those of 3 except for the additional signals of
the methoxyl group suggesting that 4 was a
derivative of 3. Three methoxyl groups at δ
3.88/136.2, 3.89/152,7, and 3.94/131,2, four
methine carbons at δ 7,90 /153,3, 6.48/93.9,
6.68/105,7, and δ 6.68/109,4 were identified
from 13C-NMR, DEPT 90, DEPT 135, and
HSQC spectra. The suggesting structure of 4
was shown in Fig. 1, and its NMR assignments
were assigned by comparing with the
corresponding data of 3′,5,7-trihydroxy-4′,5′,6
trimethoxyisoflavone (or irigenin) [6] and found
to match. Furthermore, the ESI mass spectrum
of 4 showed a quasi molecular ion peak at m/z
359 [M-H]-, corresponding to the molecular
formula of C18H16O8.
The 13C-NMR spectrum of 5 exhibited
signals of 9 carbon atoms. Of which, 6 signals at
δ 130.3 (C-2), 124.1 (C-3), 146.6 (C-4), 150.4
(C-5), 113.8 (C-6), and 109.8 (C-7) were
assigned for one aromatic ring, and three others
at δ 196.7, 26.17, and 56.12 were assigned for
the carbonyl, methyl, and methoxyl carbons,
respectively. The signals at δ 6.94 (d, J = 8.0
Hz), 7.54 (dd, J = 8.0, 1.8 Hz), and 7.53 (d, J =
1.8 Hz) in the 1H-NMR spectrum confirmed that
the aromatic ring was 1,3,4-tri-substituted. The
HMBC correlation between H-8 (δ 2.56) and C-
2 (δ 130.3), between H-6 (δ 6.94) and C-4 (δ
146.6), between H-7 (δ 7.54) and C-5 (δ 150.4),
and between methoxyl proton at δ 3.96 and C-4
were observed. In addition, the HMBC
correlation between H-7 and C-4 was not
observed. This evidence confirmed that the
hydroxyl, methoxyl, and carbonyl groups were
attached to C-5, C-4, and C-2 of the aromatic
ring, respectively. Furthermore, the ESI mass
spectrum of 5 showed a quasi molecular ion
peak at m/z 167 [M+H]+, corresponding to the
molecular formula of C9H10O3. Thus, compound
5 was identified as acetovanillone.
