title: [Study on chemical constituents of mangrove Acanthus ilcifolius].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents of Acanthus ilicifolius.
  
  
  METHODS
  Chromatographic methods were used to isolate compounds from A. ilicifolius, and chemical and spectroscopic methods were used to elucidate the structures of the isolated compounds.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Seven compounds, betaine (1), phenylethyl-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl- (1-->2) -beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), phenylethyl-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), acteoside (4), isoacteoside (5), benzyl-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (6) and vanillic acid (7) were obtained.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  1, 3, 6 and 7 were obtained from the genus for the first time.
