Abstract:Objective: To investigate the chemical constituents of Fraxinus paxiana. Method: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by chromatographic techniques and the structures of the compounds were identified with or by spectroscopic methods. Result: Fifteen compounds were obtained from the methanol extract of F. paxiana and their structures were elucidated as esculin (1), esculetin (2), fraxin (3), fraxetin (4), salidroside (5), osmanthuside H (6), liriodendrin (7), 3-(4-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy-3-methoxy)-phenyl-2E-propenol (8), threo-syringylglycerol (9), euscaphic acid (10), 3-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3, 5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-propanone (11), ω-hydroxypropioguaiacone (12), sinapyladehyde (13), betulinic acid (14) and mannitol (15). Conclusion: All compounds were obtained from this plant for the first time.
