title: [Flavonoids and anthraquinone from Dioscorea bulbifera L].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents of Dioscorea bulbifera.
  
  
  METHODS
  Column chromatography with silica gel was employed for the isolation and purification of constituents. The structures were elucidated by UV, IR, MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR analyses.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Three compounds were obtained and elucidated as 3,7-dimethoxy-5,4'-dihydroxyflavone; 3,7-dimethoxy-5,3',4'-trihydroxyflavone and emodin.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These compounds were separated from D. bulbifera for the first time.
