title: [Studies on chemical constituents of cultivated Cistanche salsa].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents of cultivated Cistanche salsa.
  
  
  METHODS
  Compounds were isolated and purified on several chromatography, and then were identified by physico-chemical properties and structurally elucidated by spectral analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Seven compounds were isolated and identified as beta-sitosterol (I), daucosterol (II), beta-sitosteryl glucoside 3'-O-heptadecoicate (III), 8-hydroxygeraniol 1-beta-D-glucopyranoside (IV), 2-methanol-5-hydroxy-pyridine (V), betaine (VI), galactitol (VII).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The chemical constituents of artificial cultivated Cistanche salsa are studied for the first time. Among them, compound III and IV are isolated from the plant for the first time, compound V is isolated from this genus for the first time.
