title: [Study on the chemical constituents of Chloranthus multistachys].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To isolate and identify the chemical constituents of the root of Chloranthus multistachys Pei.
  
  
  METHODS
  The compounds were isolated by column chromatography, semi-preparative thin layer chromatography and related techniques, their structures were elucidated through spectroscopic analyses.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Nine compounds were isolated and identified as: lupeol (I), cycloeucalenol (II), isofragidin (III), daphnin (IV), umbelliferone (V), palmitic acid (VI), stigmasterol (VII), beta-sitosterol (VIII), beta-daucosterol (IX).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Except VI, all compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time.
