A new diterpene glycoside, tomentoside I (1), along with eleven known compounds, including the four coumarins, 4,5-dimethoxyl-7-methylcoumarin (2), 4,7-dimethoxyl-5-methylcoumarin (3), isofraxidin (4) and fraxidin (5) as well as the seven triterpenoids, oleanolic acid (6), oleanolic acid 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranoside (7), oleanolic acid 3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucopyranoside (8), hederagenin 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranoside (9), betulinic acid (10), 18-hydroxyursolic acid (11) and 2α,3β,23-trihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid (12) were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the root of Anemone tomentosa and their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The antimicrobial activities of compounds 1-12 were measured using the agar disc-diffusion method. Also, their antioxidant activities against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) were evaluated.

Seven phenolic compounds, including one new compound trans‐3,4,3′,5′‐tetrahydroxy‐4′‐methylstilbene 4‐O‐β‐D‐xylopyranosyl‐(1→6)‐β‐D‐glucopyranoside (1), together with six known compounds (+)‐hinokiol (2), 6‐hydroxy‐5,7‐dimethoxycoumarin (3), caffeic acid (4), vanillic acid (5), 4‐hydroxy‐2,6‐dimethoxyphenol‐1‐O‐β‐D‐glucopyranoside (6) and 4‐allyl‐2,6‐dimethoxyphenol‐1‐O‐β‐D‐glucopyranoside (7), were isolated from the root bark of Elsholtzia bodinieri Van't. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence.

A new demethylacetovanillochromene glycoside, 2,2‐dimethyl‐2H‐(8‐hydroxy‐6‐acetyl)‐[2,3‐b] pyran‐8‐O‐β‐D‐apiofuranosyl‐(1 →6)‐β‐D‐glucopyranoside (1), together with twenty‐three known compounds, have been isolated from the root bark of Rodgersia sambucifolia. These known compounds include two diterpenoids, three flavonoids, two catechins, four lignans, two benzenoids, two isocoumarins, two steroids and six monoterpene glycosides, which were determined by means of spectral analyses.
