Purpose To study the chemical constituents of Vitex quinatasampled in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province.
Method Compounds were isolated from EtOH extract of the roots of V. quinata by chromatography methods. Their structures were identified by spectral analysis.
Result Eight compounds were isolated from EtOH extract of the roots of V. quinata and their structures were identified as: stigmasterol (1), casticin (2), naringenin (3), caffeic acid (4), isoorientin (5), dihydroxyconiferyl alcohol (6), rutin (7), daucosterol (8), respectively.
Conclusion Compounds 3-7 were obtained from this plant for the first time.
