Abstract

The dried unripe fruits ofRubus sp. (Rubi Fructus, Bogbunja) have yielded β-sitosterol glucoside and four urs-12-en-28-oic acid derivatives, three of which were as their glucosides. They were identified as 23-hydroxytormentic acid, rosamultin, niga-ichigosides F1 and F2 on the basis of spectral data.
