Abstract:
To study the chemical constituents of the aerial parts of
Pulsatilla chinensis (Bge.) Regel, various chromatography methods were used. Seven triterpene glycosides were isolated from the
n-BuOH extract. Their structures were identified as bayogenin 28-

Among them, compound 1 is a new compound. Compounds 2-6 were isolated from this plant for the first time.
