Abstract

A new compound, named trollioside, together with nine known compounds, proglobeflowery acid, isoswertisin, isoswertiajaponin, cirsimaritin, veratric acid, vitexin, orientin, beta-sitosterol and daucosterol, were isolated from the ethanol extract of the dried flowers of Trollius chinensis Bunge.
