OBJECTIVETo study the chemical constituents of ethyl acetate-soluble fraction from methanolic extract of the roots and rhizomes of Notopterygium incisum .

METHODThe chemical constituents were isolated and purified by various chromatographic methods, and their structures were identified by NMR and MS data analysis.

RESULTFive compounds were obtained and identified as falcarindiol (1), 8-hydroxy-l-methoxy-( Z) -9-heptadecene-4, 6-diyn-3-one (2) angenomalin (3), scopoletin (4), O-methylnotopterol (5).

CONCLUSIONCompound 5 was a new natural product and compounds 2-4 were isolated from the roots and rhizomes of N. incisum for the first time.
