OBJECTIVE To study the chemical constituents of Swertia decora Franch,a traditional herb medication in China.METHODS The constituents were separated and purified by using column chromatography with silica gel.Their structures were identified on the basis of spectral analysis and chemical reactions. RESULTS Six compounds were isolated from the CHCl3part of the extracts.Their structures were determined as 1-hydroxy-4,5,6,7-tetramethoxyxanthone(swertiadecoraxanthoneⅠ)(Ⅰ),1,3,8-trihydroxy-2,5dimethoxyxanthone(Ⅱ),1,8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy xanthone (methylswertianin,Ⅲ),1-hydroxy-3,7,8-trimethoxyxanthone (decussatin,Ⅳ),1,7,8-trihydroxy-3methoxyxanthone(swertianin,Ⅴ) and tetracosanoic acid(Ⅵ),respectively.CONCLUSION Ⅱ named as swertiadecoraxanthoneⅡ was a new compound and the others were found from this plant for the first time.
