From the flowers of Prunus persica BATSCH., kaempferol-3-rhamnoside, quercitrin, multiflorin A and B were isolated and also multinoside A, which have already been obtained from Rosa multiflora THUNB., and in addition, chlorogenic acid was isolated and identified with an authentic sample. The purgative activity of extracts of Prunus persica is stronger than that of Rosa multiflora and probably depends on multiflorin A and other factors, which are discussed in detail.
