Abstract

The water extract of the aerial parts of Orostachys japonicus A. Berger showed the inhibitory activity against HIV-1 protease. From the same parts of O. Japanicus, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, gallic acid and methyl gallate, together with flavonoids, kaempferol, quercetin, kaempferol $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$, kaempferol $3-O-{\beta}-D-galactoside$ and quercetin $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ were isolated and characterized by spectral data.
