[Chemical constituents of Hyperricum monogynum].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the chemical constituents from the aerial parts of Hyperricum monogynum. METHOD: Compounds were isolated by various column chromatography and identified by spectral analysis. RESULT: Ten compounds were isolated and identified as quercetin, quercitrin, hyperoside, rutin, (-)-epicatechin, 3,5-dihydroxy-1-methoxy-xanthone, 3,4-O-isopropylidenyl shikimic acid, shikimic acid, daucosterol, and oleanoic acid. CONCLUSION: All compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.
