title: Chemical constituents of Tupistra chinensis rhizomes.
abstract: A new pregnane glycoside, a dibenzylbutyrolactone lignan, 5-hydroxymatairesinol dimethyl ether, and three new flavonoids, including one 8-methylflavan-3-ol, and two 8-methylflavones, together with five known flavonoids and two known alkaloids were isolated from the rhizomes of Tupistra chinensis. The structures of all compounds were elucidated by spectral studies.
