[Studies on the chemical constituents in roots of Daphne odora var. atrocaulis].
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents from Daphne odora var. atrocaulis.


METHODS
The chemical constituents were isolated and repeatedly purified by silica gel column chromatography and the structures were elucidated by the NMR spectra and physicochemical properties.


RESULTS
Sixteen compounds were obtained and nine of them were identified as beta-sitosterol, 4-hydroxy ethylbenzoate, (2E),-2-propenoic acid,3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-decosylester, genkwanin, 2,4-dihydroxypyrimidine, daphnetin, daphnoretin, 5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone-3ol, daucosterol.


CONCLUSIONS
Seven compounds were obtained from D. odora var. atrocaulis. for the first time.
