[Studies on the chemical constituents of Asarum longerhizomatosum C. F. Liang et C. S. Yang].
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents of the roots and rhizomes of Asarum longerhizomatosum.


METHODS
Chromatography and spectral analysis were used to isolate the constituents and elucidate their structures.


RESULTS
Five compounds were isolated from the ethanol extracts of the roots and rhizomes, and identified as asarone(I), beta-sitosterol(II), 2,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde(III), 4-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-3-en-butylone(IV) and 3 beta-hydroxystigmast-5-en-7-one(V).


CONCLUSIONS
All the compounds were isolated from the plant for the first time, and IV is a new natural product.
