title: [Studies on chemical constituents in herbs of Acanthus ilicifolius].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents of Acanthus ilicifolius.
  
  
  METHODS
  Chromatographic methods were used to isolate compounds from A. ilicifolius, and chemical and spectral methods were used to elucidate the structures of the isolated compounds.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Five compounds, luteolin 7-O-beta-D-glucuronide (1), apigenin-7-O-beta-D-glucuronide (2), methylapigenin-7-O-beta-D-glucuronate (3), uridine (4) and uracil (5) were obtained.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  1, 4 and 5 were obtained from the genus for the first time.
