Abstract:
Objective: To study the chemical constituents of Gastrodia elata. Methods: The constituents were isolated by various chromatographies, including preparative TLC, silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and ODS columns, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of their physicochemical properties and spectral data. Results: Eleven compounds were isolated from 70% EtOH fraction eluted from resin column and their structures were identified as gastrodin (1), 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (2), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (3), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4), 4-hydroxybenz-yl methyl ether (5), parishin (6), 4-(methylsulfinylmethyl) phenol (7), dibutyl phthalate (8), dioctyl phthalate (9), 4, 4'-dihydroxydiphenyl methane (10), and grossamide (11). Conclusion: Compound 7 is a new natural product, and compounds 9 and 11 are isolated from the plants of Orchidacee for the first time.
