[Study on the chemical constituents of Antipathes dichotoma].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the chemical constituents of Antipathes dichotoma.


METHODS
The compounds were isolated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel and their structures were identified by spectral analyses and comparison with literatures.


RESULTS
Nine compounds were obtained from A. dichotam and characterized as cholesterol (I), ergosta-5-ene-3-ol (II), 4-methyl-ergostatrien-3-ol (III), p-hydroxybenzoate (IV), 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (V), vanillin (VI), caffeic acid (VII), batyl alcohol (VIII), and theymine (IX).


CONCLUSIONS
Compounds II - VII are obtained from Antipathes dichotoma for the first time.
