Abstract:Objective: To investigate the chemical constituents of Potentilla mulifida. Method: Various chromatographic techniques were employed for isolation and purification of the constituents. The structures were elucidated by spectral analysis. Result: Four megastigmane glycosides were isokted from P.multifida and their structures were identified as citroside A (1). icariside B1(2), (6S,7E,9R)-roseoside (3), (6S,7E,9R)-
vomifoliol-9-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→6)-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), respectively. Conclusion: All compounds were obtained from the genus Potentilla for the first time.
