OBJECTIVE To study the chemical constituents from Centipeda minima. METHODS The constituents were isolated by column chromatography on silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and HPLC-ODS, and identified by spectroscopic methods. RESULTS Ten compounds, (-)-cis-chrysanthenol-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), methy 3,5-dicaffeoylquinate (2), 3,5-di-O-caffeoyl quinicacid (3), tricin (4), 2-amino-4-methyl-pentanoicacid (5), 2-amino-3-phenyl-propionic acid (6), 4-amino-4-carboxychroman-2-one (7), brevilin-A (8), arnicolide C (9), arnicolide D (10) were isolated and identified. CONCLUSIONS Compounds 1-7 were isolated from the plant for the first time.
