Six compounds were isolated from the stems of Acanthopanax senticosus (Araliaceae). Their structures were elucidated as iso-fraxidin, H-sesamin, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, eleutheroside B, eleutheroside E and an unknown compound by spectral analysis. Of them, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural was isolated for the first time from A. senticosus.
