title: [Study on the chemical components of Gardenia jasminoides].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the chemical components of Gardenia jasminoides.
  
  
  METHODS
  Various column chromatography were used in the isolation and purification. Physiochemical constant determination and spectral analysis were adopted to determine the chemical structures.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Ten compounds were isolated and elucidated as syringic acid (1), syringaldehyde (2), vanillic acid (3), 3-hydroxy-vanillic acid (4), 3, 4, 5-trimethoxy-phenol (5), 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy-phenol (6), 4-methoxy-benzaldehyde (7), 7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-chromone (8), crocin-1 (9), crocin-2 (10).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compounds 2, 4 - 8 are first isolated from this plant.
