Chemical constituents from Schisandra sphenanthera

The chemical constituents of the stems of Schisandra sphenanthera are described for the first time. This investigation has resulted in the isolation of a new phenolic glycoside (1), along with seven known compounds. The structure of 1 was assigned by using spectroscopic techniques, including 2D NMR spectra. (C) 2008 Han Dong Sun. Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Chinese Chemical Society.
