title: [Study on the chemical constituents from the bulbs of Zephyranthes candida].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents from the bulbs of Zephyranthes candida.
  
  
  METHODS
  The chemical constituents were separated and purified by means of several chromatographies and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Six compounds were isolated and identified as trisphaeridine (I), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (II), sucrose (III), (-)-amarbellisine (IV), lycorine (V), (+)-haemanthamine (VI).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compounds I - IV are obtained from this genus for the first time.
