Chemical constituents of Chaenomeles sinensis twigs and their biological activity

A new megastigmane-type norsesquiterpenoid glycoside, chaemeloside ( 1 ), was isolated from the twigs of Chaenomeles sinensis together with 11 known phytochemicals through chromatographic methods. The chemical structure of the new isolate 1 was determined by conventional 1D and 2D NMR data analysis, ECD experiment, hydrolysis followed by a modified Mosher’s method, and LC–MS analysis. The characterized compounds’ biological effects including...
