Abstract: Objective: To study the chemical constituents of the underground parts of Cimicifuga yunnanensis. Methods: The
compounds were isolated and purified by using various column chromatography padded with silica gel and macroporous resin,
respectively, and preparative HPLC was used to assisst constituent purification as well. Their structures were identified based on
physical characteristics and spectroscopic data. Results: Five compounds were obtained from EtOAc-soluble part and butanol-soluble
part of 70% acetone extract of underground parts of C. yunnanensis and identified as cimicifugoside H-2(1), prim-O-glucosylcimifugin
(2), daucosterol(3), β-sitosterol(4), and bisphenol A(5). Conclusion: Compounds 1-5 were isolated from C. yunnanensis for the
first time.

Key words: Cimicifuga yunnanensis, chemical constituents, cimicifugoside H-2
