title: [Studies on the chemical constituents of the roots of Aralia continentalis Kitag].
abstract: Seven compounds were isolated from the roots of Aralia continentalis. Four of these compounds were identified as ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid, beta-sitosterol glucoside (daucosterol), beta-sitosterol and 16 alpha-hydroxy-(-)-kauran-19-oic acid. It is the first time that 16 alpha-hydroxy-(-)-karan-19-oic acid and beta-sitosterol glucoside were isolated from this plant.
