[Studies on the chemical constituents of the aerial part of Bupleurum chinense (II)].
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents of the aerial part of Bupleurum chinense.


METHODS
Dried aerial parts of Bupleurum chinense were extracted with EtOH, the chemical constituents in the extract were isolated and their structures were identified by physical and chemical properties and spectral analysis.


RESULTS
Five compounds were obtained and identified as 1-O-caffeoylglycerol (1), esculetin (2), scopoletin (3), kaempferol-3-O-beta-D-rutinoside (4) and alpha-spinastero (5).


CONCLUSIONS
Compounds 1-3 are obtained from Bupleurum chinense for the first time.
