title: [Constituents in petroleum ether and ethyl acetate extract fractions of Dracaena cochinensis (Lour.) S.C. Chen].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents of Dracaena cochinensis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Compounds were separated by solvent extraction, column chromatography, TLC and HPLC, and their structures were determined by spectral analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Ten compounds were isolated from the petroleum ether and ethyl acetate fractions of D. cochinensis and identified as n-heptacosane, lophenol, docosanyl ferulate, tetracosanyl ferulate, hexacosanyl ferulate, octacosanyl ferulate, pterostilbene, dioctyl phthalate, butyl isobutyl phthalate and 4'-methoxy-3',7-dihydroxy-flavone.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  All the compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.
