title: [Studies on chemical constitutents in roots of Jasminum sambac].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To isolate and identify the chemical constitutents in roots of Jasminum sambac.
  
  
  METHODS
  The compounds were isolated by means of chromatography and the structures were identified on the basis of physical and spectral data.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Dotriacontanoic acid, dotriacontanol, oleanolic acid, daucosterol and hesperidin were elucidated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  All compounds were found in this plant for the first time.
