dc.description.abstract Some wood can be used as traditional Chinese medicine. The medicinal value of wood is associated with its extractives. Pterocarpus macarocarpus Kurz heartwood is a kind of top valuable reddish hardwood in making furniture and handicrafts, but the research about medicine value of this wood is not enough. In order to investigate the high value biomedical compounds in Pterocarpus macarocarpus Kurz heartwood, the woody extractives were obtained by Soxhlet extraction and ultrasonic extraction with benzene-ethanol (1:2, v/v) solvent simultaneously and were analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS). Combining with the results of the two extraction methods, 44 compounds can be identified in total. Amony these identified compounds, there were 5 flavonoids, 15 terpenes and 3 steroidal compounds. The representative biomedical compositions were homopterocarpin, medicarpin, (-)-pterocarpin, formononetin, β-eudesmol, stigmasterol, linoleic acid and so on, which indicated that the extractives from Pterocarpus macarocarpus Kurz heartwood have huge potential in biomedicine. This research provides scientific basis for further comprehensive utilization of Pterocarpus macarocarpus Kurz heartwood as Chinese medicine. en_US
