The family Taccaceae is composed of two genera, Tacca and Schizocapsa, and about 10 spe‐ cies, with most distributed in tropical regions of Asia, the Pacific Islands, and Australia [1]. Tacca chantrieri Andre is a perennial plant that occurs in the southeast region of mainland China, and its rhizomes have been used for the treatment of gastric ulcers, enteritis, and hepatitis in Chinese folk medicine. According to a Chinese herbal dictionary, T. plantaginea has also been used for the same purposes as T. chantrieri [2]. The chemical constituents of T. plantaginea have been extensively examined and a series of highly oxygenated pentacyclic steroids named taccalonolids, which have a γ-enol lactone, have been isolated as characteris‐ tic components of the herb [3], but there has been only one report of the secondary metabo‐ lites of T. chantrieri, in which a few trivial sterols such as stigmasterol and daucusterol, and a diosgenin glycoside were found [4]. Therefore, we focused our attention on the constituents of T. chantrieri rhizomes, and a detailed phytochemical investigation of this herbal medicine has been carried out.
