Abstract:Ten chemical constituents were isolated from the barks of Endospermum chinensis Benth. On the basis of spectral data, they were identified as 3-oxo-12-oleanen-28-oic acid (1), oleanolic acid (2), 7-oxo-β-sitosterol (3), β-sitosterol (4), β-daucosterol (5), 7-ketone-β-daucosterol (6), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (7), scopoletin (8), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid (9) and nonanedioic acid (10). All these compounds were obtained from the species for the first time.
