title: Studies on the chemical constituents of Valeriana fauriei Briq.
abstract: Nine compounds were isolated from the roots of Valeriana fauriei Briq, of which one is a new germacrane-type sesquiterpenoid named as valerianin E and its structure was elucidated as bicyclo[8, 1, 0] 5beta-hydroxyl-7beta-acetoxyl-5alpha,11, 11'-trimethyl-E-1(10)-ene-4alpha, 15-olide (1). In addition, two were first reported from this genus and the others were isolated for the first time from the title plant.
