Full abstract
To study the chemical constituents from the aerial part of Cercis chinensis. The constituents of C. chinensis were separated with various chromatographic techniques and their structures were elucidated by means of spectral analysis and physico-chemical properties. Nine compounds were isolated from C. chinensis. They were identified as 3-O-methylquercetin (1), quercetin (2), (2R,3R)-3, 5, 7, 3', 5'-pentahydroxyflavan (3), 3', 5, 5', 7-tetrahydroxyflavanone (4), [+]-taxifolin (5), (2R)-naringenin (6), friedelin (7), beta-sitosterol (8), daucosterin (9). compounds 1 and 3-7 were isolated from the genus Cercis for the first time.
