Summary
Objective: To study the chemical constituents of domestic Cistanche tubulosa. Methods: Various chromatographic techniques including HPLC were used to separate the chemical components, and the structures were identified based on physicochemical properties and spectral data. RESULTS: Four iridoid glycosides, one lignan glycoside and one monoterpene were isolated, which were pentagonal acid ( Ⅰ ) , 8-epilogic acid ( Ⅱ ) and geoponic acid ( Ⅲ ) , auro cyanidin ( Ⅳ ) , eugenol glucoside ( Ⅴ ) and 8-hydroxy geraniol ( Ⅵ ) . Conclusion: Compounds I and VI were isolated from this genus for the first time, and compounds III, IV, and V were isolated from this plant for the first time.

Introduction
The traditional Chinese medicine cistanche is the dry fleshy stem with scaly leaves of the genus Cistanche in the family Lidangaceae. It is one of the commonly used traditional Chinese medicines. Cold knee pain, blood dry constipation embolism. There are 4 species and 1 variant of Cistanche in China. The 2000 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia contains Cistanche deserticola Y.C.Ma. Due to the shortage of drug sources, other species of this genus are also used in various places. Cistanche tubulosa (Schenk) R. Wight is mainly produced in Xinjiang, my country. It is rich in resources and is the main source plant of Cistanche deserticola. In Pakistan, India and other countries, there is also a kind of Cistanche tubulosa C.tububx (Schrenk) Hook.f. used as a medicinal material, but it is quite different from the domestic tube flower in terms of morphology, chemical composition and host plants, and is considered to be is different species 4. Japanese scholars have carried out in-depth research on Cistanche tubulosa produced in Pakistan. Phenyl ethanol glycosides, iridoid glycosides, lignan glycosides and other components have been isolated [3.4]. Domestic scholars have conducted preliminary research on the chemical constituents of the domestic Cistanche tubulosa, and isolated and identified 9 compounds54. In order to elucidate the chemical composition of domestic Cistanche tubulosa and provide the scientific basis for the development and utilization of new sources of traditional Chinese medicine Cistanche, we studied its chemical composition. Using various chromatographic techniques including HPLC, 4 iridoid glycosides, 1 lignan glycoside and 1 monoterpenoid were isolated from the normal alcohol extraction fraction of 95% ethanol extract, based on physicochemical properties and spectral data The identified structures are adoxosidic acid (I), 8-eploganic acid (8-eploganic acid, II), genposidic acid.D, mussamosidic acid (mussamosidic aid) IIV, eugenol glucoside [(+)-sringaresinl-Oβ-D-glucopyranoside. V] and 8-hydroxy geraniol (8-hydroxy-geraniol, VI. Compounds I and VI were isolated from this genus for the first time Obtained. Compounds III IIV and V were isolated from this plant for the first time.

The dried fleshy stems of Cistanche tubulosa C.tubulos (Schenk) R.Wight were purchased from Xinjiang Yutian County Pharmaceutical Company, identified by Professor Tu Pengfei, and the samples were kept in our laboratory.

2 Extraction and separation
Cistanche tubulosa crude drug 36.0 kg, crushed and extracted with 95% EtOH 4 times. The combined filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain an ethanol extract, suspended with an appropriate amount of H20, and extracted with P.ether, EtOAc and n-BuOH in turn. The n-BuOH extract (500 g) was subjected to Dpou macroporous adsorption resin column chromatography, eluting with H2O and 10%, 30%, 50%, and 70% EtOH successively. The H2O fraction (140.0g) was subjected to column chromatography on Diaion HP20 macroporous adsorption resin and eluted with H2O-MeOH gradient to obtain 7 fractions (FrI ~ V, FrIV (3.2g), which were subjected to Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography (H2O-MeOH gradient elution). Fr4 (0.2 g) was separated by HPLC [Cs column b H2O-MeOH-HCOOH (88:12:0.5), 10 ml'min~1, 260 ml, to obtain compound I (24 mg), II (24 mg), III 70 mg) and IIV (15 mg).
The 50% EtOH fraction (10.0 g) was subjected to reverse-phase silica gel column chromatography (gradient elution of 30%~85% MeOH) to obtain 11 fractions (FrI~X, FrVVIII 1.5g), which were subjected to Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography (40%~85% MeOH gradient elution). 70% McOH gradient elution), preparative thin-layer chromatography on silica gel CHCl-MeOH (3÷1) to obtain compounds V (70 mg) and VI (10 mg), 3 Structure identification
