Objective: To study the chemical constituents in rhizome of Astilbe chinensis.
Method: The constituents were isolated with column chromatographies and the structures were identified by physicochemical properties and spectral analysis (UV, IR, MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and 2D-NMR).
Result: The structures were identified as bergenin (1), 11-O-galloylbergenin (2), 4-O-galloylbergenin (3), catechin (4), respectively.
Conclusion: Compound 3 was isolated from Astilbe for the first time.
