title: [Chemical constituents from Punica granatum flowers].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the chemical constituents in the flowers of Punica granatum.
  
  
  METHODS
  The chemical constituents were separated by silica gel column chromatography and their structures were determined by spectroscopic experiments.
  
  
  RESULTS
  As a result, twelve compounds were isolated and identified as oleanolic acid (1), ursolic acid (2), palmitic acid (3), tricin (4), catechin (5), rutin (6), apigenin (7), apigenin-7-O-glucoside (8), 2S, 3S, 4S-trihydroxypentanoic acid (9), gallic acid (10), beta-stitosterol (11), and daucosterol (12).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compounds 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9 are separated from this plant for the first time, and compounds 3, 4 and 9 are isolated from this genus for the first time.
