Abstract

Objective: To study the chemical constituents of the root and rhizoma of Ligusticum jeholense.

Methods: The constituents were isolated by silica gel column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and their structures were elucidated through spectral analysis.

Results: Seven compounds were separated from the EtOH extracts. Their structures were identified as levistolide A (1), xiongterpene (2), linoleic acid (3), sucrose (4), daucosterol (5), ferulic acid (6) and beta-sitosterol (7).

Conclusion: Compounds 1-5 are isolated from the genus for the first time.
