[Chemical constituents from Typhonium flagelliforme].

To study the major chemical constituents from the root tuber of Typhyonium flagelliforme. Compounds were separated and purified with silica gel column and preparative HPLC, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence (UV, IR, MS, NMR and 2D NMR). Four compounds were identified as 1-O-beta-glucopyranosyl-2-[(2-hydroxyloctadecanoyl) amido]-4,8-octadecadiene-1,3-diol (1), coniferin (2), beta-sitosterol (3) and beta-daucosterol (4). A cerebroside with significant antihepatotoxic activity and a phenylpropanoid glycoside were isolated from Typhyonium flagelliforme for the first time.
