[Chemical constituents in the introduced Coleus forskohlii].
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents in the introduced Coleus forskohlii.


METHODS
The chemical constituents were isolated by column chromato-graphy. The structures were elucidated on the basis of IR, MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR experiments.


RESULTS
Eight compounds were obtained, the structures of which were identified as cytochalasin B (1), N-benzoyl-L-phenylalaninol (2), 3,6-dibenzyl-2,5-dioxopiperazine (3), 2-furoic acid (4), vanillic acid (5), loliolide (6) and forskolin D (7).


CONCLUSIONS
Compounds 1-6 were isolated from the genus Coleus for the first time.
