[Chemical constituents from herb of Epimedium brevicornum].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the chemical constituents of Epimedium brevicornum.


METHODS
The chemical constituents were isolated by using silica gel column chromatography and preparative TLC. The structures were identified on the basis of physical-chemical constants and spectral data.


RESULTS
Five compounds were isolated and identified as hyperoside, icariin, epimedin B, epimedin C, inositol.


CONCLUSIONS
Compound I and III - V were isolated from the plant for the first time.
