Abstract
Four new glycosides (1-4) were isolated from the aerial parts of Cimicifuga simplex (Ranunculaceae), and their structures were determined to be 12β-hydroxycimigenol-3-O-β-D-xylopyranoside (1), 12β-hydroxycimigenol-3-O-α-L-arabinopyranoside (2), 7β-hydroxycimigenol-3-O-β-D-xylopyranoside (3) and 25-O-acetyl-7β-hydroxycimigenol-3-O-β-D-xylopyranoside (4).
