Abstract:Objective: Isolation and structural elucidation of the constituents of China mangrove Sonneratia apetala. Method: chro-matography methods were used for isolation of compounds, spectroscopic methods were used for structural identifyication. Result: seven known compounds named(±) symgaresinol, betulinic acid, lupeol, lupeone, stigmast-5-ene-3β, 7α-diol, β-α myrin hexadecaneate, physcoion were isolated. Conclusion: these known compouns were unreported previously from this plant.
