사자발쑥의 전초를 80% MeOH 용액으로 추출하고, 추출물을 EtOAc, n-BuOH 및 물로 분배, 추출하였다. 이 중 EtOAc 분획을 silica gel과 octadecylsilica gel(ODS) column chromatography로 정제하여 4종의 화합물을 분리하였다. 각 화합물의 화학구조는 NMR, MS 및 IR 등의 스펙트럼 데이터를 해석하여, eupatilin (1), jaceosidin (2), apigenin (3) 및 eupafolin (4)으로 동정하였다. 이들 중 eupatilin과 jaceosidin은 사자발쑥에서 분리, 보고 된 바 있으나 eupafolin과 apigenin은 처음 분리되었다.
In order to search for biologically active compounds from edible plant sources, the aerial parts of Sajabalssuk (Artemisia herba) were extracted with 80% aqueous MeOH, and the concentrated extract was partitioned with EtOAc, n-BuOH and $H_2O$, successively. From the EtOAc fraction, four compounds were isolated through the repeated silica gel and ODS column chromatographies. From the results of physico-chemical data including NMR, MS and IR, the chemical structures of the compounds were determined as eupatilin (1), jaceosidin (2), apigenin (3) and eupafolin (4). Among them, compounds 3 and 4 were isolated for the first time from Sajabalssuk (Artemisia herba).
