Introduction
Hosta longipes
(Fr. et Sav.) Matsumura (Liliaceae), widely distributed throughout Korea, China, and Japan, is an edible vegetable in Korea. It has long been used as a traditional Korean medicine for treating cough, sputum, laryngopharyngitis, burns, swelling, snake bites and inflammation.

Previous phytochemical investigations of this plant led to the isolation of steroidal saponins.

In the course of our continuing search for biologically active components from Korean medicinal plants, we investigated the constituents of the leaves of
H. longipes
and reported the isolation of steroidal saponins and flavonoids and their anti-inflammatory effects.

In our continuing study on this source, we further isolated sixteen compounds (
1 - 16
). Their structures were elucidated by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. Compound
1
was isolated for the first time from nature and compounds
2 - 16
were isolated for the first time from this plant source.
Experimental
General experimental procedures
– Optical rotations were measured on a Jasco P-1020 polarimeter in MeOH. IR spectra were recorded on a Bruker IFS-66/S FT-IR spectrometer. HRFABMS were obtained on a JEOL JMS700 mass spectrometer. NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian UNITY INOVA 500 NMR spectrometer operating at 500 MHz (
1
H) and 125 MHz (
13
C) with chemical shifts given in ppm (δ). Preparative HPLC was conducted using a Gilson 306 pump with Shodex refractive index detector and Apollo Silica 5 μ column (250 × 22 mm i.d.). Silica gel 60 (Merck, 70 - 230 mesh and 230 - 400 mesh) was used for column chromatography. The packing material for molecular sieve column chromatography was Sephadex LH-20 (Pharmacia Co.). TLC was performed using Merck precoated silica gel F
254
plates. Spots were detected on TLC under UV light or by heating after spraying with 10% H

Plant materials
– Leaves of
H. longipes
were collected in Taebaek City, Korea, in June 2010. The plant was identified by one of the authors (K. R. Lee). A voucher specimen (SKKU-NPL 1103) of the plant has been deposited at the herbarium of the School of Pharmacy, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon, Korea.
Extraction and isolation
– Leaves of
H. longipes
(2.5 kg) were extracted with 80% MeOH at room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to give a MeOH extract (190 g), which was suspended in water (800 mL) and solvent-partitioned to give
n
-hexane (3 g), CHCl
3
(14 g), EtOAc (3 g), and
n
-BuOH (24 g) layers. The
n
-hexane (3 g) layer was separated over a silica gel column (
n
-hexane: EtOAc = 7 : 1 – 1 : 1) to yield nine fractions (H1 – H9). Fraction H2 (370 mg) was chromatographed on an RP-C
18
silica gel column (90% MeOH) to give three subfractions (H21 – H23). Subfraction H21 (100 mg) was purified over a silica gel semi-prep. HPLC (hexane : CHCl

(10 mg,

by comparing the spectroscopic data. All compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant source. The following describes the structure elucidation of compound

was obtained as a colorless oil and had a molecular formula of C

Na, 269.1729) in positive ion HRFABMS. The IR spectrum indicated that
1
possessed C-H bond (2951 cm
−1
) and carbonyl (1723 cm
−1
) groups. The
1
H NMR spectrum showed an oxygenated methine [δ
H
4.34 (1H, t,
J
= 5.5 Hz, H-10)], three methoxy groups [δ
H
3.66 (3H, s, 1-OCH
3
), 3.30 (6H, s, 10-OCH
3
)], a methylene adjacent to carbonyl group [δ
H
2.29 (2H, t,
J
= 7.5 Hz, H-2)], and seven methylenes [δ
H
1.61 (2H, m, H-9), 1.59 (2H, m, H-3), 1.30-1.34 (10H, m, H-4 to H-8)]. The
13
C NMR spectrum contained 13 signals, including a carboxylic carbon [δ
C
174.5 (C-1)], an acetal carbon [δ
C
104.8 (C-10)], three methoxy carbons [δ
C
52.8 (×2) (10-OCH
3
), 51.6 (1-OCH
3
)], and eight methylene carbons [δ
C
34.3 (C-2), 32.7 (C-9), 29.5 (C-7), 29.4 (C-4), 29.2 (C-6), 29.1 (C-5), 25.1 (C-8), and 24.7 (C-3)]. This spectroscopic data were very similar to those of methyl 8,8- dimethoxyoctanoate
19
except that the presence of additional two methylene groups [δ
H
1.30-1.34; δ
C
29.2, 29.5]. The HMBC cross-peaks of 1-OCH
3
/C-1 and 10 OCH
3
/C-10 confirmed the location of three methoxy groups. Analyses of
1
H-
1
H COSY, HMQC and HMBC spectra corroborated the gross structure of
1
, which was elucidated as methyl 10,10-dimethoxydecanoate. Compound
1
was previously reported as a synthetic
18
without NMR assignment. We isolated compound
1
from natural source and performed full NMR assignment of
1
for the first time. But we suggest that compound
1
could be an artifact because MeOH was used as solvent during purification.
