[Studies on chemical constituents of leaves of Psidium guajava].
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents of the leaves of Psidium guajava.


METHODS
The chemical constituents were isolated by column chromatography on silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and MPLC. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis.


RESULTS
Nine compounds were isolated from this plant, and the structure of them were identified as ursolic acid (1), 2alpha-hydroxyursolic acid (2), 2alpha-hydroxyoleanolic acid (3), morin-3-O-alpha-L-arabopyranoside (4), quercetin (5), hyperin (6), myricetin-3-O-beta-D-glucoside (7), quercetin-3-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside (8), 1-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose (9).


CONCLUSIONS
Compounds 3, 7-9 were isolated from this plant for the first time.
