The leaves of Acanthopanax sessiliflorus Seem. (Araliaceae), which is native plant to Korea, have not been studied yet on triterpene constituents. Three 3,4-seco-lupane triterpenoids (Compound I-III) were isolated from the MeOH extract of this plant using Diaion HP-20P, silica gel and ODS column chromatographes. Based on physicochemical and spectroscopic data, the chemical structures of these compounds were identified as follows ; chiisanogenin (Compound I), chiisanoside (Compound II), $22{\alpha}-hydroxychiisanoside$ (Compound III).
