Abstract:Objective: To investigate the chemical constituents of Desmos chinensis. Method: Various column chromatographic techniques were employed for the isolation and purification of constituents from the ethanol extract.The structures were elucidated by spectral analysis. Result: Eleven compounds were isolated and identified as lawinal(1),desmosal(2),desmethoxymatteucinol(3),unonal(4),isounonal(5),desmosflavone(6),alla ntoic acid(7),succinic acid(8),daucosterol(9),sitosterol(10)and stearic acid(11).The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were reconfirmed by NOEDS technique. Conclusion: Compound 2 is a new natural product and 7,8 and 9 were found from this plant for the first time.
