[Isolation and structure identification of the chemical constituents from Gypsophila oldhamiana].

AIM

To study the constituents of the root of Gypsophila oldhamiana Miq.

METHODS

Silica gel column chromatographic technique was used for the isolation and purification of compounds. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data and chemical evidences.

RESULTS

Five compounds were obtained and identified as the beta-D-glucoside of alpha-spinasterol (I), tetracosyl caffeate (II), sucrose (III), beta-sitosterol (IV) and daucosterol (V).

CONCLUSION

Compound II is a new compound. Compound I was isolated from this plant for the first time.
