Objective: To study the chemical constituents of the ethyl acetate extract from Blumea aromatica.
Methods: Column chromatographic techniques were used for the isolation and purification. Spectroscopic techniques were used for the identification of structures.
Results: Seven compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of 80% alcohol extract of the whole plant, and their structures were identified as xanthoxylin(1), dibutyl phthalate(2), luteolin-3',4',7-trimethyl ether(3), rubiadin(4), eriodictyol(5), kaempherol(6), luteolin 7,3'-dimethyl ether(7).
Conclusion: All the compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time. Among them, compounds 2,4 and 7 are isolated from this genus for the first time.
