Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the chemical constituents from the roots of Polygala tricornis.
METHODCompounds were isolated by repeated silica gel column chromatography and their structures were determined by spectral analysis and physicochemical properties.
RESULTSix compounds were isolated from the roots of P. tricornis, and their structures were identified as p-hydroxy benzoic acid (I), glucosyringic acid (II), 1-O-p-coumaroyl-D-glucopyranose (III), cis-coniferin (IV), cis-syringin (V) and vacciniin (VI).
CONCLUSIONCompounds I approximately VI were obtained from this plant for the first time.
