title: [Studies on the chemical constituents in fruits of Acanthopanax gracilistylus].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents in the fruits of Acanthopanax gracilistylus.
  
  
  METHODS
  The chemical components were isolated and purified by silica gel, ODS C-18, and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatogram. The chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectral data.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Ten compounds were isolated and identified as acankoreoside D(1), 3alpha, 11alpha-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid(2), 3/3-([O-beta-D-glucopyranuronosyl] oxy) -olean-12-ene-28-olc acid (3),3beta-([O-beta-D-glucopyranuronosyl]oxy)-28-O-P3-D-glucopyranosyl-olean-12-ene-28-olc acid(4),oleanolic acid-3-O-6'-O-methyl-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside(5), acantrifoside A(6), acankoreoside A(7), (-)-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid(8), protocatechuic acid (9),beta-sitosterol(10).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compounds 2-5 are obtained from the fruits of the plant for the first time.
