title: [Studies on the chemical constituents of the roots of Anemone altaica].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the chemical constituents of the roots of Anemone altaica Fisch. ex C. A. May.
  
  
  METHODS
  The constituents of n-BuOH-soluble portion were isolated and purified by means of chromatography. Compounds were identified by their physical characteristics and spectral features.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Six compounds were isolated and identified as cimigenol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (1), cimigenol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranol (1 -->3)-beta-D-xylopyranoside (2), isolariciresinol-9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), adenosine (4), uridine (5) and methyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (6).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  All compounds are isolated from this genus for the first time.
