title: [Chemical Constituents of Paris polyphylla var. chinensis Aerial Parts].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents of aerial parts of Paris polyphylla var. chinensis .
  
  
  METHODS
  Aerial parts of Paris polyphylla var. chinensis was extracted with 95% EtOH, and separated and purified by silica gel, RP 18 and Sephadex LH-20 col- umn chromatography. The structures were identified by spectroscopic analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of ten compounds were isolated and iden- tified as β-sitosterol (1) ergosta-7, 22-dien-3-one (2), β-ecdysone (3), kaempferol (4), daucosterol (5) luteolin (6) calonysterone (7), luteolin-7-O-glucoside (8), quercetin (9), and 3β, 5α, 9α-trihydroxyergosta-7, 22-dien-6-one (10).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compounds 2,6 and 10 are isolated from Paris polyphylla var. chinensis for the first time.
