Abstract
Objective: Cruciferous herb plant Weixian Radish (Raphanus Sativus L.), also known as Lai Fu, is a kind of popularly eatable fruit and vegetable. The present paper describes the isolation and characterization of two compounds isolated from Weixian Radish. Methods: The methanol extraction was separated by column chromatography. Obtained compounds were identified with physical and chemical properties and NMR. Results: Two compounds were isolated from the extract of Raphanus Sativus L. for the first time and their structures were identified as β-sitosterol and 1-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(2S, 3S, 4R, 8E)-2-[(2'R)-2'-hydroxyltetracos-15'-enoylamino]-8-octa-decene-1, 3, 4-triol, which have many biologically active effects.
