Abstract

As part of an ongoing study of traditional Chinese medicinal plants, the root tissue of Salvia miltiorrhiza was further investigated for its chemical constituents. Five naturally occurring products along with 13 known constituents were isolated from an ethyl acetate-soluble portion of its ethanol extract. Their structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods. Some selected compounds were also evaluated for biological activity.
