[Studies on chemical constituents from rhizomes of Hedychium chrysoleucum].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the chemical constituents from the rhizome o fHedychium chrysoleucum.


METHODS
The compounds were isolated by column chromatography on silica gel. The structures were identified by NMR, IR and MS analyses.


RESULTS
Seven compounds were isolated and identified as hedychenone (1), coronarin A (2), yunnancoronarin A (3), coronarin E (4), beta-sitosterol (5), cryptomeridiol (6), and beta-eudesmol (7).


CONCLUSIONS
Compounds 1-7 were obtained from this plant for the first time.
