[Chemical constituents from rhizome of Pulsatilla dahurica].
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents from rhizome of Pulsatilla dahurica.


METHODS
The constituents were isolated and purified by various chromatographic methods. AR compounds were identified on the basis of spectral analysis and physico-chemical characters.


RESULTS
Six compounds were isolated from the 70% alcohol extract of the rhizome identified as hederagenin ( I ), hederagenin 3-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (II), hederagenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (III), hederagenin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1 -->2) [beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->4)]-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (IV), beta-sitosterol (V) and daucosterol (VI), respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
Compounds I approximately VI were isolated from this plant for the first time.
