Abstract: | Objective To study the chemical constituents in the stems of Cistanches deserticola. Methods The compounds were purified by various column chromatographic methods and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic(1D, 2D NMR, IR, ?]D, and MS) and chemical analyses. Results Seven compounds were isolated and identified as kankanoside D1(1), ajugol(2), cistanin(3), uridine(4), adenosine(5), 6-deoxycatalpol(6), and kankanoside D(7). Conclusion Compound 1 is a new compound. |
