Abstract :Onosma argentatum Hub.-Mor. is an endemic species growing in Turkey. In this study, the roots of O. argentatum were extracted with n-hexane-dichloromethane insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1:1);. The extract was separated on a silica gel column eluting with n-hexane-ethyl acetate by gradient elution. New naphthoquinone compounds insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3 known and 1 new); were isolated and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods as deoxyshikonin, acetyl shikonin, 3-hydroxy-isovaleryl shikonin, and 5,8-O-dimethyl acetyl shikonin.
Keywords : Onosma argentatum, natural naphthoquinones, shikonin derivatives, Boraginaceae, 5, 8 O dimethyl acetyl shikonin
