Chemical Constituents from the Flowers of Dendrobium chrysanthum

Objective] This study aimed to investigate the chemical constituents from the flowers of Dendrobium chrysanthum and determine its bioactive compounds. [Method] The compounds were extracted by 95% alcohol and isolated by column chromatography on silica gel and Sephadex LH-20. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic analysis (1H NMR, 13CNMR and ElMS). [Result] Nine compounds were obtained and identified as stigmasterol , β-sitosterol , linoleic acid , stigmast-4-en-3-one , dibutyl phthalate , moscatilin , ergosterol , ergosterol peroxide and daucosterol . [Conclusion] Al compounds were isolated from its flowers for the first time.
