Abstract

Three new compounds, phellodensin G, phellodenols D and E have been isolated from the leaves of Phellodendron chinense Schneid (Rutaceae), together with thirteen known compounds. Their structures were established by means of spectroscopic analysis, including extensive 2D NMR and mass spectra.
