[Chemical study on petroleum ether portion of Sarcandra hainanensis].
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents in the whole plants of Sarcandra hainanensis.


METHODS
The chemical constituents were isolated by various column chromatographic methods. The structures were identified by spectral data.


RESULTS
Nine compounds, palmitic acid (1), icosanoic acid (2), beta-sitosterol (3), octadecanoic (4), acidchrysophanol (5), emodin (6), 2', 3'-dihydroxy-4', 6'-dimethoxychalcone (7), 2'-hydroxy4', 6'-dimethoxychalcone (8), cardamonin (9) were isolated and identified.


CONCLUSIONS
Compounds 1-9 were obtained from this plant for the first time. Compounds 2, 5-9 were isolated from family Chloranthaceae for the first time.
