[Studies on chemical constituents of herbs of Reineckia carnea].
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents of Reineckia carnea.


METHODS
The compounds were separated by means of solvent extraction, repeated chromatogramphy with silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and MCI resin. The structures were determined by spectral analysis.


RESULTS
Ten compounds were separated and elucidated as daucosterol (1), stigmasterol-3-O-beta-D-glu-copyranoside (2), myo-inositol(3), pentologenin (4), kitigenin (5), kitigenin5-O-beta-D-glu-copyranoside (6), neoaspidistrin (7), (1beta, 3beta, 16beta, 22S)-cholest-5-ene-1, 3, 16, 22-tetrol-1, 16-di-(beta-D-glucopyranoside) (8), rhodeasapogenin 1-0-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-2)-beta-D-xylopyrano-side (9), quercetin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(6-1)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (10).


CONCLUSIONS
The compounds 2, 3, 7, 9, 10 were discovered in this plant for the first time.
