[A study on chemical constituents in the herb of Mentha spicata].
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.
