Isolation and structure identification of the chemical constituents from Gypsophila oldhamiana

AimTo study the constituents of the root of Gypsophila oldhamiana Miq. Methods Silica gel column chromatographic technique was used for the isolation and purification of compounds. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data and chemical evidences. ResultsFive compounds were obtained and identified as the β-D-glucoside of α-spinasterol (I), tetracosyl caffeate (II), sucrose (III), β-sitosterol (IV) and daucosterol (V). ConclusionCompound II is a new compound. Compound I was isolated from this plant for the first time.
