To study the chemical constituents of Ixeris chinensis.The chemical constituents of Ixeris chinensia were isolated and purified by silica gel. LH-20 column chromatography and preparation HPLC etc. Their structures were identified b) means of spectra, in same cases by direct comparison with authentic samples.Ten compounds were obtained and identified as luteolin (1), luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), apigenin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyrano side (3), luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside acatate (4), 3beta-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy) -8beta- (p-hydroxyphenylacetyloxy) -guaia-4 (15), 10 (14), 11 (13) -trien-1alpha, 5beta, 6beta, 7alphaH-12, 6-olide (5), beta- (beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy) -8beta- (2-hydroxy-3-methylbutanoyloxy) -guaia-4 (15),10 (14), 11 (13) -trien-1alpha, 5beta, 6beta,7alphaH-12,6-olide (6), 5, 3', 4'-trihydroxy-7-methoxyflavone (7), apigenin (8), 5-hydroxy-7,4'- dimethoxyflavone (9), 5, 7, 4'- trimethoxyflavone (10).Compounds (5, 6, 7, 9, 10) are isolated from this plant for the first time.
