title: [Studies on the chemical constituents of Ardisia tenera].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the chemical constituents of Ardisia tenera Mez.
  
  
  METHODS
  Compounds were isolated by normal phase silica gel, MCI GEL and Sephadex LH-20 gel column chromatography. Their structures were elucidated by analyses of spectroscopic data.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Eight compounds were isolated, and their structures were elucidated as bauerenol (I), myristic acid (II), 11-phenyl-1-(2',6'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy-phenyl)-undecan-1 -one (III), ardisinone A( IV), ardisinone B( V ), ardisinone C( VI), ardisinone F (VI), beta-sitosterol (VIII).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  All of these compounds are obtained from this plant for the first time.
