Isolation and identification of chemical constituents from whole plant of Selaginella tamariscina(Beauv.)Spring

Objective To study the chemical constituents of traditional Chinese medicine,the whole plant of Selaginella tamariscina(Beauv.)Spring.Methods Chemical constituents were isolated by various chromatographic methods and identified by physicochemical properties and spectral analysis.Results Eight compounds were isolated and identified as uridine(1),pulvinatabiflavone(2),selaginellin(3),selaginellin C(4),arbutin(5),adenosine(6),β-sitosterol(7),and daucosterol(8).Conclusions Compound 1 is obtained from genus Selaginella for the first time.Compounds 24 are obtained from this plant for the first time.
