수오공의 화학성분

The chemical constituents of Kyllinga brevifolia Rottb. var. leiolepsis Hara (Cyperaceae) were studied. From the chloroform and n-butanol soluble fractions, five compounds were isolated by chromatographic purification process. They were identified as ${\beta}-sitostenone$, ergosterol peroxide, ${\beta}-sitosterol$, ${\beta}-sitosteryl$-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyanoside and vitexin, respectively. This is the first report of the identification of ${\beta}-sitostenone$, ergosterol peroxide from Cyperaceae.
