[Studies on chemical constituents from Elaeocarpus sylvestris].
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents of Elaeocarpus sylvestris.


METHODS
The compounds were isolated by chromatographic methods and their structures were elucidated by physico-chemical properties and spectral analysis.


RESULTS
Six compounds were isolated and identified as: 2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde (1), coniferyl alcohol (2), umbelliferone (3), scopoletin (4), beta-sitosterol (5), daucosterol (6).


CONCLUSIONS
All above compounds are isolated from Elaeocarpus Genus for the first time.
