title: [Studies on the chemical constituents from Radix Ranunculi Ternate].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents from Radix Ranunculi Ternate.
  
  
  METHODS
  The compounds were isolated by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and ODS column chromatography, and their structures were elucidated by means of spectral analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Eight compounds were isolated and identified as phillygenin (I), bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP, II), henicosanoic acid methyl ester (III), 5-hydroxymethyl-furfural (IV), mixture of stigmasterol and sitosterol (V and VI), daucosterol (VII).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compounds I-III are isolated from the genus for the first time.
