Abstract

Sixteen compounds, including six flavonoids (1–6), one lignan (7), three megastigmanes (8–10), three triterpenoids (11–13), and three benzoic acid derivatives (14–16) were isolated and structurally elucidated from the pseudo-fruits of Hovenia dulcis. Their structures were analyzed by NMR spectroscopic and data comparison. Among them, compounds 4, 7–11, 13, 15, and 16 were isolated from the Hovenia genus for the first time. The chemotaxonomic significance of the isolates was also described, which revealed a relationship between H. dulcis and H. acerbar as well as other species belonging to the Rhamnaceae family.
