OBJECTIVE: To study the chemical constituents of Zingiberis Rhizoma. METHODS: The compounds of Zingiberis Rhizoma were classified and purified by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and thin layer chromatography (TLC). The structure of compounds were analyzed and identified according to chemical property and spectrum data. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: Five compounds were isolated from Zingiberis Rhizoma, i.e. methyl-6- gingerol (1), 4- gingerol (2), β-eudesmol (3), 2, 5-dihydroxybisabola-3,10-diene (4), 6-shogaol (5). The compounds 2, 3, 4 are isolated from Zingiberis Rhizoma for the first time.
