Abstract: Three new constituents were isolated from Eleutherine americana Merr.et K.Heyne(Hong-cong)by means of silica gel,ODS column chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).They were identified as 9,9'-dihydroxy-8,8'- dimethoxy-1,1'-methyl-1H,1H'-\bi\funanyl]-3,3'-dione(1),6,8-dihydroxy-3,4-dimethoxy-1-methyl-anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester(2),2-acetyl-3,6,8-trihydroxy-1-methylanthraquinone(3) by physico-chemical propeties and spectral data,respectively.All three compounds showed weak activities against the growth of Pyricularia oryzae.The MMDC(Minimum morphological deformation mass concentration) was 145.8,50.2,124.8 μg/mL.Additionally,compound 2 also inhibited the proliferation of K562(human erythroleukemia) with IC50 value of 49.1 μg/mL.
