Chemical Constituents from the Aerial Parts of Paris polyphylla var. chinensis

??OBJECTIVE To study the chemical constituents from the aerial parts of Paris polyphylla var. chinensis. METHODS The compounds were isolated and purified from the 75% ethanol extract by chromatography on HPD100 macroporous resin, silica gel, and Sephadex LH-20 as well as semi-preparative HPLC. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data. RESULTS Eleven compounds were isolated and identified as corchionoside C (1), ??-ecdysterone (2), coronatasterone (3), kaempferol-3-O-??-D-galactopyranoside (4), astragalin (5), isorhamnetin-3-O-??-D-glucopyranoside (6), kaempferol-3-O-??-D-glucopyranosyl-(l??2)-??-D-galactopyranoside(7), isorhamnetin-3-O-??-D-glucopyranosyl-(l??2)-??-D-galactopyranoside (8), kaempferol-3-O-??-D-glucopyranosyl-(l??2)-??-D-glucopyranoside (9), isorhamnetin-3-O-??-D-galactopyranosyl-(l??6)-??-D-glucopyranoside (10), and isorhamnetin-3-O-??-D-gentiobioside (11). CONCLUSION Compounds 1 and 3-11 are isolated from this plant for the first time and compounds 1, 3-5 and 8-10 are isolated from Paris plants for the first time.
