In order to clarify the source plant of the crude drug, Wujiapi, whose constituents were being examined, the components of the root bark of the seven kinds of this plant was comparatively examined by thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography. It was thereby clarified that 4-methoxysalicylaldehyde, α- and β-amyrin, α- and β-amyrin acetates, periplogenin, and cymarose are contained in the Periploca genus plants in the Asclepiadacea family, while these are totally absent in the plants of the Araliacea family. The crude drug whose components had been examined is the so-called "Bei-wujiapi" and its original plant is assumed to be Periploca sepium BGE. from the known literature but further examinations are being made. Examination of components in P. calophylla FALCON was undertaken for the first time in the present series of work.
