title: [Chemical constituents from roots of Distylium myricoides].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents from the roots of Distylium myricoides.
  
  
  METHODS
  The chemical constituents were isolated and separated with chromatographic techniques, and structures were identified by spectroscopic methods.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Eight phenolic compounds were isolated and identified as: 4-hydroxy-2-methoxyphenol 1-O-beta-D-(6'-O-galloyl) glucopyranoside (1), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-phenol 1-O-beta-D-(6'-O-galloyl) glucopyranoside (2), 3,4,5-tri methoxyphenol 1-O-beta-D-(6'-O-galloyl) glucopyranoside (3), 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), methyl gallate (5), ethyl gallate (6), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (7), gallic acid (8).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  All compounds were isolated from the genus Distylium for the first time.
