ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the chemical constituents from rhizome of Pulsatilla dahurica.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The constituents were isolated and purified by various chromatographic methods. AR compounds were identified on the basis of spectral analysis and physico-chemical characters.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Six compounds were isolated from the 70% alcohol extract of the rhizome identified as hederagenin ( I ), hederagenin 3-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (II), hederagenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (III), hederagenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1 -->2) [beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->4)]-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (IV), beta-sitosterol (V) and daucosterol (VI), respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Compounds I approximately VI were isolated from this plant for the first time.</p>
