abstract: Five saikosaponins and two saikosapogenins were isolated from the roots of Bupleurum smithii var. parvifolium by column chromatography, preparative-TLC and HPLC, and identified as saikosaponin a, saikosaponin d, saikosaponin b2, saikosaponin b4, chikusaikoside I, saikogenin F and saikogenin G on the basis of spectral analysis.
