The sutdies were carried out to evaluate the consituents in the rihzomes of the cultivated Korean Rhubarb (Polygonaceae). From the acetone fraction ofl methanol extract Compound I (1, 8-dihydroxy-3-methyl anthraquinone, chrysophanic acid), Compound II($chrysophanol-8-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$), Compound III ($emodin-8-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$) and Compound IV ($aloe-emodin-8-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$), and from the ether fraction Compound V(1, 8-dihydorxy-3-emthyl-6-methoxy anthraquinone, physcion) and Compound VI (1, 6, 8-thitydroxy-3-emthyl anthrauinone, emodin), and also from the n-buthanol fraction Compound VII ($rhapontigenin-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside, rhaponticin$) and Compound VIII ($piceatannol-3'-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$), were isolated and identified on the basis of their physico-chemical and spectroscopic evidences (UV, IR, H-NMR, C-NMR, EI-MS), respectively.

In the course of phytochemical studies of Rumex acetosella L. (Polygonaceae), the MeOH extract of the whole plants was fractionated with $CH_2Cl_2$ and $H_2O$, and the $CH_2Cl_2$ layer was fractionated again with 90% MeOH and hexane. Whereas $H_2O$ layer was fractionated with EtOAc and then with n-BuOH again. By repeated column chromatography, compound 1 was isolated from the 90% MeOH fraction, compounds 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were from the ethylacetate fraction, and compound 5 was from the n--BuOH fraction. On the basis of physico-chemical, spectroscopic evidences and in comparison with authentic samples, the structures of them were confirmed to emodin, citreorosein, $chrysophanol-8-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$, luteolin and $luteolin-7-O {\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$.
