title: [Chemical constituents from dried sorophore of cultured Cordyceps militaris].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the chemical constituents of the dried sorophore of cultured Cordyceps militaris.
  
  
  METHODS
  Compounds were isolated and purified by macroporous adsorption resin and silica gel column chromatography. Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectral data (IR, FAB-MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Nine compounds were isolated and identified as: ergosta-4, 6, 8 (14)-tetraen-3-one (1), citrostadienol (2), tetracosanoic acid 2, 3-dihydroxypropyl ester (3), ergosterol (4), ergosterol peroxide (5), ergosta-7, 22-dien-3beta, 5alpha, 6beta-triol (6), cordycepin (7), adenosine (8), N-(2-hydroxyethyl) adenosine (9), respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compounds 1-3, 6, 9 were separated from the sorophore of cultured C. militaris for the first time.
