Studies on Chemical Constituents of Stellaria media
Objective To study the chemical constituents from the fresh herb of Stellaria media.Methods The chemical constituents of the plant were isolated and purified by column chromatography and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. Results Five chemical constituents were isolated and elucidated as apigenin (1), 6,8-di-C-glucopyranosyl apigenin (2), quercitin 3-Ο-α-L-rhamnoside (3), querctin (4), daucosterol (5), respectively. Conclusion Compounds 3, 4, and 5 were isolated from this plant for the first time.
