[Study on the chemical constituents of Sambucus chinensis Lindl].

OBJECTIVE: To study the chemical constituents of Sambucus chinensis Lindl. METHODS: The constituents were isolated and purified by various chromatographic methods and structurally identified by spectral analysis. RESULTS: 5 compounds were obtained as beta-sitosterol (I), oleanolic acid (II), ursolic acid (III), kaempferol-3-O-beta-D-(6-O-acetylglucopyranosid)-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (IV), and kaempferol-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosid-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (V). CONCLUSION: The compound IV and compound V were obtained from these plants for the first time.
