Chemical Constituents from Bletilla ochracea Schltr.

To study the chemical constituents in Bletilla ochracea Schltr. , repeated column chromatographies and preparative TLC were used for the isolation of compounds, and spectroscopic techniques(NMR, IR, UV and MS) were used for their structural identification. Seven compounds, 2,7-bis(allyloxy)-5-methoxy-3-methyl-9, 10-dihydrophenanthrene(1), gastrodin(2), gastrodigenin(3), β-sitosterol(4), stigmasterol(5), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde(6), and daucosterol(7) were obtained from the roots of B. ochracea Schltr. Compound 1 is structurally illustrated as a novel compound, and the others are isolated from the title plant for the first time.
