Objective To study the chemical composition of Schisandra chinensis and provide guidance for further investigation of its bioactivity.Methods Compounds were separated and purified by silica gel column chromatography and their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods.Results Five compounds were isolated and identified from Schisandra chinensis.Three of them were sesquiterpenoids 6β,8β-dihydroxyeremophil-7(11)-en-12,8α-olide(1),6β,8α-dihydroxyeremophil-7(11)-en-12,8β-olide(2),Bullatantriol(3);one was isoflavonoid Daidzein(4),and the other one was trans-Cinnamic acid(5).Conclusion Compounds 1 and 2 were separated from Schisandra chinensis for the first time.
