[Studies on the chemical components of Clematis chinensis].
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical components of the root of Clematis chinensis.


METHODS
Various chromatographic techniques were used to separate and purify the components. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence.


RESULTS
Two compounds were isolated and elucidated as: clemaphenol A (I) and dihydro-4-hydroxy-5-hyroxymethy-2(3H)- furanone (II).


CONCLUSIONS
Compound I and II are new compounds.
