Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the chemical constituents of the stem of Juncus effusus L. MethodsThe constituents were isolated by normal-phase and reverse-phase silica gel column chromatography from the P.E. and EtOAc extract. Their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis. ResultsTwo steroid compounds were isolated from P.E. extract and identified as stigmast4en6βol3one (1), (24R)stigmast4ene3one (2), two 9,10dihydrophenanthrene compounds were isolated from EtOAc extract and identified as juncusol (3) and efffusol (4).ConclusionCompound 1 and 2 were isolated from Juncaceae plant for the first time.
