Fifteen compounds were obtained from Polygonatum prattii Baker, which could be divided into four steroids, nine flavonoids, one lignanoid and one acidamide. The chemotaxonomic significance of P. prattii and the some other species among Asparagaceae was also discussed. As a result, Polygonatum may have close relationships with Liriope, Disporopsis, Ophiopogon and Aspidistra. Additionally, homoisoflavanones and steroids can be recognized as typical biomarkers for the above genus.

植物化学成分及化学分类研究玉竹prattii贝克

从玉竹中获得了十五种化合物，可分为四种类固醇，九种类黄酮，一种木脂素和一种酰胺。的化学分类意义P. prattii和天门冬科之间的一些其他物种进行了讨论。因此，玉竹可能与鹅掌pe，Disporopsis，麦冬和香附子有密切的关系。另外，高异黄酮和类固醇可以被认为是上述属的典型生物标记。
