title: [Studies on chemical constituents from Elaeocarpus sylvestris].
abstract: 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.
