Nine compounds (1-9) have been isolated from the whole plants of Paris verticillata M. v. BIEB. (Liliaceae) and their structures characterized. They can be divided into four groups ; phytosteryl derivatives (1, phytosteryl (6'-palmitoyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside ; 2, the despalmitate of 1), phytoecdysones (3, ecdysone ; 4, ajugasterone A ; 5, ecdysterone), pennogenin glycosides (6, pennogenin tetraglycoside (T-g) ; 7, prototype glycoside of 6), and kaempferol glycosides (8, kaempferol 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside ; 9, 7-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl kaempferol 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside).
