title: [Studies on the chemical constituents of the petroleum ether portion of Nervilia fordii].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents of the petroleum ether portion of Nervilia fordii.
  
  
  METHODS
  The constituents were separated and purified by using column chromatography with silica gel. These compounds were identified by their physical and spectral data.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Six compounds were isolated and identified as Cyclohomonervilol (I), Octacosanoicacid (II), Stigmasterol (III), Cyclohomonervilol-(E)-p-hydroxy cinnamate (IV), 24(R/alpha)-dihydrocycloeucalenol-(E)-p-hydroxy cinnamate (V), Docosanoic acid (VI).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compounds I-VI are isolated from this plant for the first time.
