“…The methanol extract of the aerial parts of A. alpina was partitioned successively with hexane and H 2 O. Purification of the H 2 O-soluble fractions by multiple chromatographic steps resulted in the isolation of 17 compounds that were identified as chlorogenic acid (1), [13] chlorogenic acid methyl ester (2), [14] 5-Ocoumaroylquinic acid (3), [15] 5-O-coumaroylquinic acid methyl ester (4), [16] 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (5), 3,5dicaffeoylquinic acid methyl ester (6), [17] jaceidin (7), [18] 5,7,4-trihydroxy-3,6-dimethoxyflavonone (8), [19] axillarin (9), [20] penduletin (10), [21] chrysosplenol B (11), [22] isoshaftoside (12), [23] shaftoside (13), neoshaftoside (14), [24] isovitexin (15), [25] quercetin 3-O-vicianoside (16), [26] and achillin (17) [27] by comparing the 1 H-, 13 C-NMR, and LC/IT-TOF-MS spectral data with the literature values (Figure 1). To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to identify compounds 2-10 and 12-17 in A. alpina.…”
