title: [Studies on the chemical constituents of Sarcopyramis nepalensis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents of Sarcopyramis nepalensis.
  
  
  METHODS
  The constituents were isolated and purified with chromatography and the structures were elucidated by spectral analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Ten compounds were isolated and their structures were identified as: (E)-1-(3,4-dihydroxy-phenyl) ethyl acrylate (I), stearic acid (II), palmitic acid (III), 4-hydroxybenzonic acid (IV), 3,4-dihydroxy benzoic acid (V), gentisic acid ( VI), gallic acid (VII), beta-sitosterol (VIII), daucosterol (IX), stigmasterolstearate (X).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compounds I , IV, V, VI, VII are isolated from this plant for the first time.
