title: [Structure identification of two new cerebrosides from Helicia nilagirica Beed].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the bioactive components from Helicia nilagirica.
  
  
  METHODS
  Compounds were separated with a combination of multi-chromatography. Their chemical structures were determined on the basis of spectral analysis and chemical evidence.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Two compounds were isolated from the leaves of Helicia nilagirica. Compound 1 was elucidated as 1-O-3-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S,3S,4R,8Z)-2-[(2'R)-2'-hyd roxylignocenoyl-amino]-8-octadecene-1, 3, 4-triol. Compound 2 was an analogue of 1.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The two compounds are new cerebrosides.
