Résumé
Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the flowers of Edgeworthia gardneri. Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel, AB-8 macroporous resin, sephadex LH-20, pre-HPLC. Their structures were determined on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectral analysis. Results: Four compounds were isolated from the flowers of E. gardneri and elucidated as gardnerol C (1), daphnoretin-5-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl- (1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), (3S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid (3), and dihydrokaempferol (4). Conclusion: Compound 1 is a new coumarin named gardnerol C, and compound 4 is obtained from the genus for the first time.

Résumé
This article was aimed to study the chemical constituents in Tragopogon porrifolius L. and their activities by pharmacological experiment in order to provide evidences in the further development of the usage of this medical resource. Under the guidance of pharmacological activities screening results, compounds were isolated by repeated silica gel, macroporous resin column chromatography and HPLC. Their structures were identified by means of UV, IR, MS, NMR and other chemical evidences. The results showed that T. porrifolius L. (i.e., n-butanol extraction part) can increase survival time of mice in the oxygen-lacking state (P < 0.05). Two compounds of biological alkaloids, which were identified as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid (Ⅰ) and adenine (II), were isolated. It was concluded that compound Ⅰ and II were obtained from T. porrifolius L. for the first time.
