title: [Studies on the chemical constituents of Carduus crispus L].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents of Carduus crispus.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using chromatographic methods to isolate compounds and using chemical and spectral methods to elucidate the structures of the isolated compounds.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Eight compounds were elucidated as beta-amyrin palmitate, taraxastery acetate, luteolin-7-O-alpha-L-rhamanopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranoside, luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, triacontanic acid, beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol and stigmast-7-en-3 beta-ol.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  All the compounds were obtained from this plant for the first time.
