[Studies on chemical constituents from root of Actinidia macrosperma].
OBJECTIVE
To study the chemical constituents of root of Actinidia macrosperma.


METHODS
Chromatographic methods were used to isolate compounds from A. macrosperma and spectroscopic methods were used to identify the structures of the isolated compounds.


RESULTS
Eight compounds were obtained and identified as 12-oleanene-2alpha, 3alpha, 24-triol (1), isotachioside (2), asiatic acid (3), catechin (4), epicatechin (5), ursolic acid (6), beta-daucosterol (7), beta-sitosterol (8).


CONCLUSIONS
All these compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time, compound 1, 2 were obtained from this genus for the first time.
