Eight compounds were isolated from the methanol extract of the roots and ae
rial parts of Anemone rivularis Buch. -Ham. ex DC. By means of spectroscopi
c methods, their structures were established as oleanolic acid 3-O-alpha -L
-arabinopyranoside(1), oleanolic acid 3-O-alpha -L-rhamnopyranosyl(1 -->2)-
alpha -arabinopyranoside(2), oleanolic acid 3-O-alpha -D-ribopyranosyl(1 --
>3)-alpha -L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-2)-alpha -L-arabinopyranoside(3), hederagini

oxy-olean-28-oic acid 3-O-D-ribopyranosyl(1 -->3)-alpha -L-rhamnopyranosyl(
1 -->2)-alpha -L-arabinopyranoside (8) respectively. The last two compounds
were new ones and named anemonolide(7) and anemoside B(8).
