[Study on the chemical constituents of Psoralea corylifolia].
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents of Psoralea corylifolia.


METHODS
Column chromatography was used in the isolation procedure. The structures of isolated compounds were elucidated by spectral data.


RESULTS
Seven compounds were isolated and their structures were identified as isopsoralen (1), psoralen (2), bavachalcone (3), 4", 5"-dehydroisopsoralidin (4), methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (5), psoralidin (6), corylin (7).


CONCLUSIONS
Compounds 4 and 5 are obtained from Psoralea for the first time.
