title: [A study on chemical constituents in the herb of Mentha spicata].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the constituents of anti-inflammatory and hemostatic active sites of Mentha spicata.
  
  
  METHODS
  Chemical constituents were separated by solvent method and chromatography and identified by physicochemical properties and spectroscopic methods.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The structures were identified as ursane I, 3-methoxy-4-methylbenzaldehyde II, veratric acid III, 5-hydroxy-3',4',6,7-tetramethoxyflavone IV, diosmetin(V), thymonin VI, daucosterol VII.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Among them, compounds I, II, III were first obtained from M. genus, IV, VI were separated from M. spicta for the first time.
